Viinikka

Viinikka is a district of Tampere, Finland, located 1,5 kilometers southeast of its city center on the west side of Lake Iides.

[3] Ahlmanintie, on the east side of Viinikankatu, is named after Gabriel Ahlman (1737–1799), an assessor who owned the Hatanpää Manor in the late 18th century.

In 1757, Otavala passed to Hans Henrik Boije (1716–1781), the owner of the Hatanpää Manor and member of Parliament, who established a spinning school and a flax weaving mill on the farm.

The school, called the “Otavalan spinni”, was designed to teach the handling of flax from sowing the seed to weaving the fabric.

Viinikka's first town plan was approved in 1914, when the area was bounded on the north by Viinikanoja, on the east by Lake Iides and the Pahaoja pond,[6] on the south by Pahalampi and on the west by the Riihimäki–Tampere railway.
