Klippan is a place ( Tatort ) in the Swedish province of Skåne län and the historical province of Skåne .

The main town of the municipality of the same name is located about 20 km northeast of Helsingborg near the Rönne å river .

history

The development of the place in the 16th century is closely related to the opening of a paper mill (Klippans bruk) on a rapids of the Rönne å in 1573. The original village was actually called Åby , but when the railway line was set up, the station was given the name of the factory, which in turn was named after the rapids, and from then on the name was used for the whole settlement. From Klippan the river towards Ängelholm was navigable.

In the 20th century there was also a leather factory , a dairy and a brickworks , which have now been closed. The paper mill also went bankrupt in June 2006, but production resumed in December of the same year.
