History
Örby got its name from the Örby Manor, as does the neighbouring residential area of Örby slott. Örby was created a self-governing village within Brännkyrka Rural District in 1904. The area was amalgamated with Stockholm City in 1913 and the rural district was dissolved. In the present administration of the city, it is part of the borough of Enskede-Årsta-Vantör.Notable buildings
Leipzighuset is a multi-dwelling apartment house located at the corner of Turingevägen / Gamla Huddingevägen in Örby.Built in the early 1900s, the architecture differs from other buildings in Örby and was inspired by German metropolitan architecture from the turn of the 1900s.
Örbyskolan was built in 1915 and designed by architect Georg A. Nilsson. The building looks like similar schools in Gamla Enskede and Långbro and is sometimes mistaken for a church due to its size and shape.
