It was built in 1881 to connect Slussen with the heights of Södermalm, which were difficult to reach on foot. The lift was fitted with an electric motor in 1915, but the old system was scrapped in 1933 and replaced with a new, more modern lift and footbridge. The view from the top of Katarinahissen is very interesting.
