It&#8217;s the same with places. Here&#8217;s the history of some of the local place names.  <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<h2>Ahlmannk\u00e5ken<\/h2>\n<p>Building 316. The Swedish glaciologist, geographer,<br \/>\nprofessor and ambassador in Oslo, Hans Jakob<br \/>\nKonrad Wilhelmsson (W.son) Ahlmann (1889-<br \/>\n1974), erected the building on the south side of<br \/>\nMurchisonfjorden, opposite S\u00f8re Russ\u00f8y on<br \/>\nNordaust landet, at the Sveanor base in the summer of<br \/>\n1931. SNSK bought it and placed it where<br \/>\nit stands today, below the church.  <\/p>\n<h2>Prayer House<\/h2>\n<p>Road 238\/21. Was built in 1990. The somewhat square<br \/>\ntwo-storey house with 13 apartments was quite<br \/>\nlonely down by the sea before the other houses<br \/>\nwere added. Got the name because some believe it looks<br \/>\nlike a prayer house.   <\/p>\n<h2>Bl\u00e5myra<\/h2>\n<p>Road 232. Started in 1990. The blue-painted<br \/>\nhouses are partly located in marshy terrain.  <\/p>\n<h2>The cage or virgin cage<\/h2>\n<p>was built in 1947 and is located opposite Stormessa<br \/>\nin Nybyen, above what was then Formannsmessa.<br \/>\nHere, there were cabins for female fairground attendants.<br \/>\nThe fair moved to Busen in 1985 and<br \/>\nBuret became a regular dormitory.<\/p>\n<h2>Burma Road<\/h2>\n<p>The first Burma Road was built around 1950. The<br \/>\nnew Burma Road was built in 1963 and is<br \/>\npartly below the old one. The Burma Road between<br \/>\nBurma and China was of great strategic importance<br \/>\nduring the Second World War. Hence the name.   <\/p>\n<h2>breasts<\/h2>\n<p>is part of Lompensenteret, which was built in<br \/>\n1985. Britt Ohm won the competition to name the caf\u00e9<br \/>\n. As you know, the bus is the honorary name<br \/>\nof a miner.  <\/p>\n<h2>Cowboy town<\/h2>\n<p>Route 234. The facades of the houses resemble sets<br \/>\nfor a cowboy movie with their small verandas at<br \/>\nthe entrance. <\/p>\n<h2>Sparks<\/h2>\n<p>Egentlig Funksjon\u00e6rmessa (FUM) was built<br \/>\nin 1947 and was housing for unmarried salaried employees.<br \/>\nThe boys lived on the right when we came up the stairs<br \/>\nto the second floor, and the girls on the left. On the first<br \/>\nfloor there was a table tennis room (later a billiard room),<br \/>\na fireplace, a telephone booth, a separate booth<br \/>\nwith white tablecloths, a lounge and a VIP area for<br \/>\nSNSK&#8217;s guests. <\/p>\n<h2>Gr\u00f8nnbrakka<\/h2>\n<p>At the old cable car angle at the<br \/>\ndescent to the Milky Way. The building was first used as<br \/>\nhousing. In February 1987, it was converted into a<br \/>\npistol range with fine caliber. Coarse-caliber pistol<br \/>\nfrom 1992.   <\/p>\n<h2>Hiorthhamn or Moskushamn<\/h2>\n<p>In 1918, the place was named Hiorthavn after director Fredrik<br \/>\nWilhelm Louis Hiorth. In 1933, the name Hiorthavn<br \/>\nwas changed to Hiorthhamn in accordance with a rule that<br \/>\nNynorsk orthography should be used as far as<br \/>\npossible when it comes to place names on<br \/>\nSvalbard. In 1938, Hiorthhamn was renamed<br \/>\nMoskushamn because 17 musk oxen were put ashore<br \/>\nfrom Greenland in 1929. Changed back to Hiorthamn in 2002.    <\/p>\n<h2>The house<\/h2>\n<p>is the abbreviation for the community center that was<br \/>\nbuilt in 1951 and is located at the foot of the road to<br \/>\nSverdrupbyen.<\/p>\n<h2>Indian village or Spisshusene<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4266 aligncenter\" title=\"Longyearbyen Svalbard Spisshus\" src=\"https:\/\/www.svalbardblues.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Longyearbyen-Svalbard-Spisshus.jpg\" alt=\"The tip houses in Longyearbyen. Also called the Indian village\" width=\"185\" height=\"125\"><\/p>\n<p>was built in 1976. The field of identical houses in Vei<br \/>\n230. At first, they were called Indianerlandsbyen<br \/>\nbecause of their pointed roofs. Not long after<br \/>\nit became Spisshusene.   <\/p>\n<h2>The basement<\/h2>\n<p>From 1984-1992 there was a polo shop in the basement of<br \/>\nFunken.<br \/>\nIt was called Kjelleren. Before 1987, you could buy crates of beer<br \/>\nin the basement of AMV (workers&#8217; fair<br \/>\nwest) in Sverdrupbyen. It was also called Kjelleren<br \/>\n&#8211; or \u00d8lkjelleren. Beer sales were moved to the<br \/>\nstore in Nybyen in 1987.   <\/p>\n<h2>Clogs<\/h2>\n<p>Prior to 1985, people lounged (changed into\/out of work clothes)<br \/>\nin various places such as Maskinbrakka<br \/>\nat Skj\u00e6ringa, Funken and Nybyen (the main swimming pool).<br \/>\nFrom August 1985, the multi-purpose center<br \/>\nwas called Lompen, where you walked in clean on the upper<br \/>\nside of the bathroom and in dirty mud out to the bus on the<br \/>\nback, and vice versa. This bathroom section of the<br \/>\nmulti-purpose center, which also contained a laundry<br \/>\nand offices, was named Lompen after a naming competition<br \/>\nwon by Judith Gylseth. <\/p>\n<h2>L\u00f8w\u00f8broen<\/h2>\n<p>In 1953, NSB&#8217;s S\u00f8rlandsbane supplied Ing. Fridtjof L\u00f8w\u00f8<br \/>\nin 1953 delivered the railway bridge that formed communication<br \/>\nbetween Mine 1b and Mine 4. The track<br \/>\nwas 17 meters above the ground. It transported rock from Mine<br \/>\n1b to the other side of the valley in connection<br \/>\nwith the planning of Mine 4. Later used for<br \/>\ncoal transport. The bridge was demolished in 1981.    <\/p>\n<p>[\/one_half]<\/p>\n<p>[one_half_last]<\/p>\n<h2>Milky Way<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIron cow&#8217;s milk\u201d (made by machine from powder) was<br \/>\nmade in the basement of Stormessa until 1995. You<br \/>\ncould collect milk in buckets at various locations in<br \/>\nthe city. In 1985, bread sales and all milk collection<br \/>\nwere centralized to the new multi-purpose building.<br \/>\nIt was said that the governor&#8217;s wife had too far<br \/>\nto go, so they had to build the so-called Milk Road<br \/>\nin 1985.  <\/p>\n<h2>The pearly gates<\/h2>\n<p>A landslide from \u201cVannledningsdalen\u201d at Haugen destroyed<br \/>\nthe bridge over Hilmar Rekstensvei just below<br \/>\nHaugen in 1989. As there was already a<br \/>\nparallel road from Haugen to the sea, the decision was made to<br \/>\njust make a footbridge over the river. Because people<br \/>\nwere used to driving here, the railing was marked<br \/>\nwith many reflectors in all colors. They shone<br \/>\nlike pearls on a string in the light from the cars.   <\/p>\n<h2>Supplies<\/h2>\n<p>Built in 1950. At the power station in the seaside area<br \/>\nwas the provision store with frozen goods, vegetables<br \/>\nand dry provisions. At that time there was no ordinary<br \/>\ngrocery store. Based on an overview list,<br \/>\na requisition was written and placed in yellow mailboxes<br \/>\naround the city. The goods were packed and<br \/>\ndelivered to the door, and the bill was deducted from the wages.<br \/>\nThis was only for households with access to<br \/>\nkitchens, and it was mostly families that had<br \/>\naccess to them to begin with. In 1992, the new<br \/>\nSvalbard store was opened in the town center, and Provianten<br \/>\nstopped selling food.    <\/p>\n<h2>Riding fence<\/h2>\n<p>Hybelhus 232\/16 built in 1979. Named after<br \/>\nthe Reitgjerdet asylum. The name was a little kick<br \/>\nto the many teachers and government employees who<br \/>\nlived there.  <\/p>\n<h2>Rose cellars<\/h2>\n<p>The basement in Murboligen between Funken and the old<br \/>\nhospital that was built in 1954 was called Rosekjelleren.<br \/>\nUntil the beginning of the 1980s,<br \/>\nFunken had its own fair for the unmarried white-collar workers<br \/>\nwho lived there.<br \/>\nThe unmarried girls (the roses) who worked in the<br \/>\nkitchen lived in the basement of Murboligen.<br \/>\nThus Rosekjelleren. Another explanation is<br \/>\nthat it was a hive of activity and was compared<br \/>\nwith Rosekjelleren in Oslo. <\/p>\n<h2>Russeboligen<\/h2>\n<p>228\/9+11 was built in 1975. Employees<br \/>\nof Aeroflot lived here from 1975 to 1991 when they had<br \/>\nflights to Longyearbyen every Wednesday. <\/p>\n<h2>Shang-Po-Lar<\/h2>\n<p>From Maundy Thursday 1962 to 29\/9-1984, a Shang-Po-Lar evening was<br \/>\narranged with a local orchestra<br \/>\nin Nysalen in Sverdrupbyen. Chinese<br \/>\nsymbols were painted on a wide<br \/>\nband around the walls, and exotic paper lamps were hung<br \/>\nup. A starry sky was painted above the stage.  <\/p>\n<h2>Skj\u00e6ringa<\/h2>\n<p>From the quay front on the old quay, there were trolley tracks<br \/>\nin several directions. To make it<br \/>\nless difficult for the horses, they made a ditch\/cut<br \/>\nthrough the mound roughly where the governor&#8217;s<br \/>\nadministration building is located today.<br \/>\nHence the name Skj\u00e6ringa. <\/p>\n<h2>Stone Tip Valley<\/h2>\n<p>During excavation work in Mine 2a, stones were<br \/>\ndumped in Gruvedalen. Thus the name<br \/>\nSteintippdalen in the vernacular until<br \/>\nresidential buildings began to be planned here in<br \/>\nthe early 2000s. <\/p>\n<h2>Stormessa<\/h2>\n<p>Arbeidermesse \u00f8st (AM\u00d8), which was built in<br \/>\n1948 in Nybyen, is called Stormessa. Here there was<br \/>\nroom for 550 people at long tables. 1600<br \/>\nm\u00b2 spread over two floors. Later rebuilt and<br \/>\nhad different functions.   <\/p>\n<h2>Svea apartments<\/h2>\n<p>228\/1-5, built in the 1970s, was called Sveaboligen<br \/>\nbecause the house type was to be a prototype<br \/>\nfor houses that were planned to be built in Svea at the<br \/>\ntime there were big plans for Svea.<\/p>\n<h2>The sin<\/h2>\n<p>Hybelhus 220 at Perleporten. Here there was life<br \/>\nand excitement. <\/p>\n<h2>Tarzan loft<\/h2>\n<p>Fitness room with equipment on the second floor of<br \/>\nLompensenteret, which was built in 1985.<\/p>\n<h2>Villa Gjennomtrekk or Jernsenga<\/h2>\n<p>The beds and the stove standing on the slope inside<br \/>\nAdventdalen.<br \/>\nA group had cleaned up Passhytta and<br \/>\nreplaced the beds and stove in 1961. They burned<br \/>\nall the rubbish on site, but the steel beds and<br \/>\nthe stove had to be discarded in town. On the return trip with the<br \/>\nweasel, Kristen B\u00f8en decided to dump<br \/>\nthem on the bank as a landmark because they<br \/>\nneeded a landmark right there in bad<br \/>\nweather. And that&#8217;s how Villa Gjennomtrekk came to be.<br \/>\nIn recent years, only the name<br \/>\nJernsenga has been used.   <\/p>\n<h2>Eagle&#8217;s Nest<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4269\" title=\"snow home\" src=\"https:\/\/www.svalbardblues.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/sneheim.jpg\" alt=\"\u00d8rneredet, also called Sneheim.
