Behrn arena!


Örebros biggest soccerarena is Behrn arena. At first it was named Eyravallen, but in 2005 Behrn fastigheter bought it and renamed it. The arena was built in 1923 and has been rebuilt several times, for example the stand, and they have switched to fake grass. Behrn arena has always been one of Sweden's most classic arenas. ÖSK and KIF ladies team are hometeams of Behrn arena. ÖSK has two teams engaged in the national series game. First class team has 25 players and 10 people working around the team. The older players have soccer as their work, while the younger still go to school. And the talent team, or ÖSK ungdom plays in class 3. KIF ladies team was formed in 1980. They are really good, and are doing theur best season ever. The audience record during a soccergame was ÖSK against Degerfors on 8 October 1961. It was over 20.000 people who watched that game. But the overall record has nothing to do with soccer, it was when Gyllene tider performed in the summer of 2004, 22.495 screaming fans enjoyed the music. The band isn't so famous around the world, but the frontman Per Gessle is also a member of Roxette with Marie Fredrikson, he has had a huge hit with " It must have been love "

OBS!!!! Push the picture then magic will happen!

Sörbyängen!

We grew up in Sörbyängen, a neighbourhood in southeast Örebro. Sörbyängen has mostly co-operative flats and was built in 1982. We think that if you decide to visit, which you should, you have to go and eat pizza at Sörbypizzera, a small blue building next to Sörbyängsskolan. Sörbyängen has a pretty big soccerassociation, IK Sturehov. It has teams for all ages, beginner kids born -98 to the first class team. Around the mainbuilding, Hovet, there are many soccerfields. On one of them the Walpurgis night is celebrated. Every years there are different teams of Sturehov who take care of everything.

Örebro Konserthus


Örebro Konserthus is situated in central Örebro between a river, called "Svartån", and a street called Fabriksgatan. The concert hall was found in 1932 and was from the beginning a library with only one concert hall. Most people first think of Svenska Kammar orkestern when they hear about Örebro Konserthus and that is probably beacuse it´s their homestage. "konsertsalen" is the biggest hall in Konserthuset and can make room for 700 people, but there is only seats. If you want you can rent different halls for example meetings, conferences, small lectures, companypartys and so on. On saturday the 17 October Mark Levengood is guesting the concert hall, and on the first October you can see "En oväntad date" with a conductor called Nikolaj Znaider.

Sörbyängsskolan!

Sörbyängsskolan is a small school in Örebro. It was built in 1984, that year the school only had classes 4-5, 9-12 year olds. But noawadays there are from kindergarten to 6th grades. There are 200 pupils and 25 teachers. Maria Montessoris pedagogy is a big part of Sörbyängsskolans education system. It means that they work a lot with their hands, instead of just reading and writing. We visited the school and talked to three boys who were firstgraders, and asked what they thought abou going to Sörbyängsskolan. We didn't get much information from them because they were energetic and talked about a whole lot of other thing. But after a while they did tell us that the food was good and the teachers were great. And we agree, because we have gone there from 2005 to 2008, 4th-6th grade. The school is very much for outdoor life. For example, our class used to go on trips to different places weekly. Although we didn't like it then, it was useful afterwards.
