The capital of Telemark County in southern Norway, it is the administrative and economic center. It has a population of 50,023 (2002). The city is located on both banks of the Skien River, about 5 km upstream from the head of the fjord. Norway's first hydroelectric power station was built here in 1887, using water power that was once used to power sawmills. Today, sawmills, paper mills, pulp mills, etc. operate with electricity transmitted from large inland power plants. It was the birthplace of the writer Ibsen, and the house where he spent his childhood is now the Ibsen Museum.

ノルウェー南部、テレマーク県の県都で、行政・経済の中心都市。人口5万0023(2002)。フィヨルドの湾奥からシーエン川を5キロメートルほどさかのぼった両岸に市街地が形成されている。かつて製材用動力に使われた水力を利用して、1887年にノルウェー最初の水力発電所がこの地に建設された。今日では内陸の大型発電所からの送電で、製材、製紙、パルプなどの工場が稼動している。作家イプセンの誕生地で、幼少のころ過ごした家はイプセン博物館となっている。 [竹内清文] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
