T. (Theo) Spek 2ND READER Dr. P.D. (Peter) Groote 3RD READER Dr. T. (Tiina) Peil STUDY Master Landscape History Faculty of Arts University of Groningen DATE March 2016 3 4 Abstract The future of relics from a military past A study to the history, contemporary role and future development of 20th century military heritage at the waterfront of Tallinn, Estonia In comparison to Western Europe, the countries in Central- and Eastern Europe witnessed a complex 20th century from a geopolitical perspective, whereas numerous wars, periods of occupation and political turnovers took place. Consequently, the contemporary landscapes are bearing the military imprint of different political formations and face problems regarding the reuse and domestication of the military remnants. In this thesis, the post-military landscape at the inner-city coast of Tallinn, Estonia, has been studied. The main objective was to get insight in the historical background, contemporary role and future development of military heritage in the Tallinn Waterfront area. The research consists out of two parts. First of all, the historical layering of the Tallinn Waterfront area has been unfolded by elaborating a landscape- biographical approach and making an inventory of military remnants.

  • Tallinn City Centre Photo: Andrei Pustovalov Photo: Andrei the City Centre in a Nutshell
    estonia Tallinn City Centre Photo: Andrei Pustovalov Photo: Andrei The city centre in a nutshell If it is ever possible to attach signifi cance to a city district as being the most important in the country, the city centre of Tallinn is it due to its high concentration of government and cultural institutions. The city centre is home to both parliamentary and government buildings (on Toompea Hill), ministries, Tallinn City Council and Tallinn City Government, the Estonia National Opera, a variety of theatres and concert halls, the National Library, the National Stadium and numerous museums and churches. As such, the residents of the district are always at the heart of political and cultural life in Estonia. The City Centre district was formed on 4 March 1993 by a decision of Tallinn City Council that divided the capital into eight local government units with limited powers. Prior to this reform, what is now considered the city centre had been divided between four districts (Kalinin, Lenin, Meri and Oktoober), each of which bordered one side of Town Hall Square. Due to its location, the city centre can be considered a link between the other districts of Tallinn, as it borders Põhja-Tallinn, Kristiine, Nõmme, Lasnamäe and Pirita alike. Rae municipality and the Baltic Sea are also direct neighbours. The administrative area of the city centre also includes Lake Ülemiste and Aegna Island in the Gulf of Finland. As at 1 September 2020, the population of the City Centre district was 63,692. That makes it the third largest district in Tallinn after Lasnamäe and Mustamäe, but there is only one other town or city in Estonia with a larger population: Tartu.
