Funckens Gränd

The street appears in historical records in 1666 as Funckens grendh, named after the burgher Tomas Funck (1580–1645) who moved to Stockholm from Stralsund.

They were separated by a medieval alley parallel to Funckens Gränd, of which remains a narrow and elongated backyard passing through the present block.

The stone table on the façade from 1715 carries the initials and symbol of Gustaf Hästesko ("Gustav Horseshoe").

[3] The façade of Number 5 (Deucalion 7), on the corner to Kornhamnstorg, got its present appearance in the 19th century, while the backyard is keeps its older look.

[4] According to an inscription from 1908 on 53, Kornhamnstorg, the building on Number 4 (Typhon 18) was built by Thomas Funck who gave the alley its name.

The inscription over the portal of 53, Kornhamnstorg saying the merchant Thomas Funck lived there is wrong in claiming so.
