The Dahlsjö Case (Swedish: Dahlsjöfallet) refers to the mass disappearance of Kjell-Åke Johansson (born 9 April 1949), Jan Olof Dahlsjö (born 8 June 1944) and Gay Roger Karlsson (born 25 March 1943) from a café in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden on 29 July 1965. The trio, who after being witnessed departing from the café in a midnight blue 1956 Volvo PV444 belonging to Dahlsjö, have never been seen since, even though various purported sightings of the trio were reported in August 1965 and 1966. Additionally, Hübner "Hymme" Olof Alexis Lundqvist (born 6 February 1947), son of Evert Lundquist, was last verifiably reported alive after sending a postcard to his parents in Torekov from the Gothenburg Central Station on the same date as the trio disappeared. Although Lundqvist is commonly believed to have died whilst hitchhiking with the Dahlsjö trio, sightings of him in Adelaide, Australia in 1966 and Singapore in 1968 have been reported. In addition, a robbery at a bank in Gamlestaden, Gothenburg also occured on 29 July 1965. The peculiar escape plan by the robbers, which included escaping in a river by using wetsuits, made mass media dub the crime "Grodmansrånet" (the Frogman Robbery). It is unclear whether the robbers were directly involved in the disappearance of the four men, though the Swedish Police have since discredited this theory.

Järntorgsbrunnen (Swedish for The Well of the Iron Square), or using the artists title, De fem världsdelarna (The Five Continents), is a sculpture by Tore Strindberg, inaugurated October 12, 1927 at Järntorget, Göteborg, Sweden. The sculpture consists of a granite fountain with five naked, female, bronze sculptures (by Tore Strindberg), representing five continents: Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Australia (Oceania). A ship at the top is seen sailing five streams, symbolizing the five oceans. Since the piece is to remind us of the old iron scale which used to be located on this spot (hence the square's name, The Iron Square), 30 hallmarks from those ironworks who exported their goods via Göteborg can be seen throughout the sculpture.
