history
The street was named Maria Pustegränd in 1946. Before that, the names Ragvaldsgatan or Ragwalds Backe were in use. The oldest known name is Ragwaldszgatan from 1670 . This name probably goes back to a Ragvald Larsson mentioned in 1635 . As early as 1679, however, Pustegranden was mentioned as a name, but it disappeared after 1880. While the street was then called Ragvaldsgatan, the stairs down Riddarfjärden were called Ragvaldstrappor or Ragvaldstrapporna . On a map by Petrus Tillaeus from 1733, a jetty is marked directly on the bank , which was called Ragvalds bro at the beginning of the 19th century . This name was still in use until the 1930s, although there was no longer a jetty.
