Monet ihmettelevät sitä, miten uutta ja tuoretta täällä kaikki on: kaupat ovat tyylikkäitä, sisus- tukset on tehty varmalla maulla ja hotellit ovat ylellisiä. Erilaiset IT-sovelluksetkin ovat Tallinnassa jo normaalia arkea, kuten ilmainen langaton internetyhteys lähes kaik- kialla ja pysäköinnin maksaminen kännykällä. Tiesitkö muuten, että Skype on kek- sitty Virossa? Tallinna on sekä uutta että vanhaa ja siksi erinomainen kaupunki- lomakohde. Se on äärimmäisen kompakti kaupunki, jossa melkein kaiken voi nähdä kävellen, ilman takseja ja busseja. Suurin osa nähtävyyksistä, kulttuuritapah- tumista, ravintoloista, ostoskoh- teista ja iltamenoista on kätevästi aivan keskustassa. Ja Tallinnassa riittää tekemistä.

The Future of Relics from a Military Past

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.
