    Looks like Gutenburg, but Gutenberg is in Germany and Germany and Sweden aren't that neighborly (ya know, enough to say that Gutenberg was in Sweden in 1886).

    I believe that is meant to be Gothenburg, spelled as it sounded.

    If you compare the first letter of the city with the first letter in the country, they are formed differently. And, in older cursive, an uppercase G is often mistaken for an uppercase S.

    Edit - I checked 2 Gazetteers, and neither has a "Sutenburg."
