==History== Klarabergsgatan got its current name in 1857, but it has had many different names throughout its history. The oldest known name from 1645 was Berggathon, in 1664 the name was S.ta Claræ Bergzgatun and in 1728 S:t Clarä Bergs Gränd. On a 1885 map of Stockholm the street is finally named Klarabergs gatan. The street might be named after the hill located to the west of the Klara Church. Part of this hill remains under the Kirsteinska huset (later named Hotel Continental). Another part can be seen at the foundations of the Klara skola.
