Nils Sjögren's Rochdale Monument: four faces of cooperation

Rochdalemonumentet is an imposing sculpture in granite by Nils Sjögren on Saltsjöbaden's Sjöudden. Built in 1944 by Kooperativa Förbundet, it was erected as part of the 100-year celebration of consumer cooperation. Four prominent figures from the cooperative movement are depicted on the monument: Martin Sundell, Ole Dehli, Hannes Gebhard, and Severin Jørgensen.

Rochdalemonumentet is situated near the cooperative's congress annex Vår Gård. The movement can trace its roots back to the first consumer cooperative, founded in the city of Rochdale in 1844.
