Höör is a locality ( tätort ) in the Swedish province County Skåne and capital of the homonymous municipality .

Part of the Höör crime scene is located on the territory of the southeastern neighboring municipality of Hörby (1166 inhabitants on an area of ​​231 hectares , 2015).

history

The spelling of the place name with two "ö" should go back to the initiative of the Post due to problems with the delivery of letters . It used to be common in Sweden to mark a place letter with the addition " Här " (here), leaving out the place name. Since a large number of indistinctly written letters ended up in Hör, the name was changed to Höör .

Until the opening of the Södra stambanan railway line in 1858, there was only one farm. Due to the beautiful natural location of the place in a trough valley , which is surrounded by several hills, more and more people settled. In addition, day visitors came, so that Höör developed into a center for leisure activities. In 1939 Höör became a minority town (köping) , which is no longer relevant after the municipal reform of 1971, as this reform made all municipalities equal.

1882 Höör was determined by the opening of the railroad Höör-Hörby Järnväg with Hörby connected. This railway line was shut down in 1929, a bus connection was set up for it. The regional train Pågatåg stops in Höör .

In 2015, the area and population of the crime scene increased significantly, as it had in fact grown together with several previously independent locations: Ormanäs och Stanstorp, Sätofta and Ljungstorp och Jägersbo, which stretch south on the banks of Lake Ringsjön , and the one to the east - already on the territory of the Hörby municipality - subsequent Ludvigsborg. In 2010 these places had a total of 3228 inhabitants.

Culture

A summer opera is performed in Höör every year. There is a music school, a jazz club and a music shop.

About four kilometers north of the village is Skånes Djurpark Zoo , which specializes in native animals.
