Every design for Linköping

The cathedral spire rises above the Östergötland plain and points out Linköping from far off – a cathedral town and the residence town of Östergötland County, where the Stångån makes its way north towards Roxen. Here you find both medieval Linköping and a young university town, with Linköping University a clear part of the city's pulse. Sankt Lars church and the old water tower are among the landmarks most people recognise.

There is something about moving along Gamla Storgatan, past the Stora hotellet and the town hall, that makes you feel at home. Perhaps it is the presence of history – the Battle of Stångebro and the Linköping bloodbath have left their traces, and the town carries stories of people such as Elsa Brändström and Raoul Wallenberg.

The cathedral is the silhouette you look for when you come home, and on the map it becomes a fixed point among streets you know without thinking. A shirt with the map of Linköping becomes a small way of carrying that feeling – for everyone who studied at the university, grew up on the plain or simply counts Linköping as their town.
