Going to ski this weekend?

"Palmehelga" – The Palm weekend, after Palm Sunday – in 1956 at #Bergen #train station. It is the start of Easter holiday, and people are stacking up their skis and ski poles to take the train to Voss or Geilo (or cabins somewhere around there) for the Easter week.

Musikkpaviljongen – the music gazebo – in the city park in the early 30s. Quite similar to today's view from Hotel Norge.

The gazebo was bought as a gift by businessman, consul and politician Fredrik Georg Gade sr., inspired by #Moorish #architecture.

April fools day.

The April Fool's joke was that Vinmonopolet (state owned wine store monopoly) was out of bottles, so they were selling red wine cheaply to those who had brought something to put the wine in. Many people fell for it. It is said that on this day there were buckets and pails everywhere in the streets, people were embarrassed to have been fooled and left them everywhere.

Some have suggested that the picture is from 1950, when Aftenposten's April Fool's Day joke was about the same thing, and not from 1969. In 1950, however, photographer Henrik Ørsted was just 12 years old and living in his native Denmark. Our photo is dated to 1969 by him. The photo is probably an arranged illustration photo for a mention of the case from 1950.

Year: 1969

When I biked past this building today, they were refurbishing those balconies!

This is Allégaten around 1900. Today the street is known for the huge brutalist natural sciences faculty building (Realfagsbygget) on the left-hand side of the street. Before 1977, the Nygård park stretched all the way to Allégaten instead, which is what we see here.

#Bergen #TrainStation, some time in the 30s.

Opened in 1913, the station is – still – the terminus of the Oslo-Bergen train line. It was built on parts of an old graveyard, and as late as 2016, two skulls were found when maintenance was being done on the tracks.

Ah, the good old days when you wouldn't know if a #selfie left out the top of your head until you got the film developed.

A (likely time-released) selfie from photographer and engineer Truls Wiel Wilson in 1907. He started a company in 1914 which still runs in #Bergen today, making signs, outside benches, street lamps and so on.

Hello, hello, hello – I moustache you a question!

Rasmus Løvik was a police officer in #Bergen from 1876-1911. Was considered at a point for a transfer to somewhere else in Norway, which was met with protests from people in the Nøstet area where he patrolled.

The street corner of Svaneapoteket (The Swan Pharmacy) in #Bergen in the 50s.

Founded in 1595, it was the oldest #pharmacy in #Norway until its closing in 2024. The original building burned down in the city fire of 1916, but was rebuilt. The swan was a symbol of intelligence and purity and was widely used symbols by medieval apothecaries in Finland and Denmark

Oh, just a humble little train station kiosk, nothing more.

Installed in the other kiosk is M/S Venus (it´s just a model), the "England boat" that voyaged between #Bergen and #Newcastle and to other destinations from 1931 until the late 60s.

Fantoft #StaveChurch (or Fortun kyrkje, as it was originally actually called), in the 1880s.

Nowadays most known for getting burned down and rebuilt in the 1990s, the church originally stood in Fortun in Sogn, but was moved to #Bergen in 1883.
