The present alley is one of the shortest in the old town, and while an article about it might seem superfluous, it has reached an all but legendary status among a large number of Swedes through the still popular troubadour Carl Michael Bellman (1740–1795) and his 34th epistle named Till Movitz, när elden var lös i hans kvarter uti Kolmätargränden ("To Movitz, when fire ravaged his block in Kolmätargränden").
Movitz |
The name Movits! alludes to Fader Movitz, a character in the Epistles of Fredman by Swedish 18th-century poet and composer Carl Michael Bellman.
