Sola i Karlstad
Sola i Karlstad
Sola i Karlstad (the Sun in Karlstad) was the nickname for Eva Lisa Holtz (1 January 1739 i Karlstad – 24 September 1818), a Swedish waitress and innkeeper who became the symbol for the Swedish city of Karlstad.
Eva Lisa Holtz worked as a waitress on several of the local inns in Karlstad. She came to be known for her "sunny" disposition, thereby being given the nickname "the Sun in Karlstad". There has been speculations that she also prostituted herself at some point. Eventually, she came to own and manage her own inn.
