Kvissleby is a place ( Tatort ) in the Swedish province of Västernorrlands län , in the historic province (landskap) Medelpad .

location

Kvissleby belongs to the municipality of Sundsvall and within this since January 1, 2016 to the district of Njurunda, named after the church village located 3 km south of the town center, today's district of Njurundabommen . With almost 9,000 inhabitants (2015), the place is the second largest town in the municipality. It is located almost 50 km as the crow flies southwest of the provincial capital Härnösand and a good 10 km east-southeast of the center of Sundsvall on both sides of the Ljungan river , a little above its confluence with the Bottensee. Kvissleby also includes the formerly independent district of Nolby to the southwest, where almost half of it the inhabitant lives.

Kvissleby has a stop not far from the town center at kilometer 336 of the East Coast Railway (Ostkustbanan), which connects Stockholm with Sundsvall and was opened on this section in 1925. The new route of Europastraße 4 , which opened on this section in 2014, passes a little west of the town . The old route runs through the town as today's provincial road Y 562. At the northern edge of the village, the Y 563 crosses the Ljungan, which is around 150 meters wide, in the direction of the Skottsund district over the Harabergsbron bridge, which was opened in 1988. The first bridge from 1930, located directly above, is now used for pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

In 2015 the population of the crime scene Kvissleby more than tripled after a number of previously independent localities were assigned to it: the perpetrators Dingersjö, Essvik, Juniskär, Njurundabommen and Skottsund as well as the larger, southern part of Svartvik with the hamlet of Hemmanet, as well as the småorter Bodviken and Solberg.

history

In place of the place originally called Kvissle , the first stone church of the later parish of Njurunda was located around 1200. The place gained greater economic importance in the 19th century through the timber rafting on the Ljungan, to the sawmills of Svartvik, Essvik, Klampenborg and Nyhamn (today all on the territory of the crime scene). Kvissleby, where there was a ferry connection across the river, developed into a logistical central location for the surrounding sawmills. A chemical and a paper mill were also built later. The town center got its present appearance from uniform development with multi-storey apartment blocks in the 1960s.

Administratively, the place initially belonged to the parish of Njurunda socken , from which the rural community of the same name (landskommun) emerged in 1862 . This went on in 1974 in the municipality of Sundsvall.
