Haverdal resident Johan Rosenlind, the man behind the original idea for the series, actually worked at Hotell Mårtenson in the 1990s. It was there he found inspiration for parts of the series. The series character Helga Löwander, is referred to as “The aunt in the attic” and this nickname is based on a true story. “The aunt in the attic” actually lived in Hotell Mårtenson in Halmstad. Her name was Greta Gruber, and she was the widow of Franz Gruber, the man who started Hotell Mårtenson. He died in 1969. In his will, he wrote that Greta should be allowed to live on the top floor for as long as she lived and she should receive her meals free from the hotel. The 5th floor was built in the early part of the 20th century to serve as a residence for the manager and it was only converted into hotel rooms in 1996.
