Ranheim
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ranheim is a residential area located approximately 6 kilometers to the east of the centre of Trondheim, Norway. It comprises places such as Olderdalen, Væretrøa, Reppe and Vikåsen.
It used to be a working class area where a large part of the male population worked at the Ranheim paper mill. Today, however, it is mostly middle class in its composition and most of its residents work elsewhere.
Ranheim was also known for its foul odour, commonly referred to as ‘Ranheimslukta,’ which was caused by the processing by-product: hydrogen sulphide. In recent years, the paper mill has become a paper recycling plant which has decreased the emission of sulphides. The characteristic 'Ranheimslukta' has consequently disappeared.
