J. Rabbe utgav i Helsingfors 1853–1857 Inför uppgörandet av denna namnförteckning en serie häften med titeln Finlands Minnesvärde har jag dels komprimerat Mannils lista till Män. Av dessa män har ungefär hälften funnits ungefär tvåhundra personer, vilka kan påräkna värda att intas i föreliggande förteckning. ett bredare intresse, dels kompletterat listan med Uppfattningen om vem som är minnesvärd ungefär trehundra nya namn ur den finskatalande varierar naturligtvis från tid till tid, och det skulle befolkningen samt före 1800 och efter 1990 storligen förvåna om ens hälften av dessa namn avlidna.

Efter en trevande start aktiverades Minnesvårdarna 2001, då godsägaren Henrik Degerman anställdes som dess intendent.

  • Mathematical Monuments in Finland
    Bridges 2021 Conference Proceedings Mathematical Monuments in Finland Osmo Pekonen1, Kristóf Fenyvesi2, and Johan Stén3 1University of Jyväskylä, Finland; [email protected] 2University of Jyväskylä, Finland; [email protected] 3University of Helsinki, Finland; [email protected] Abstract With “mathematical monuments” we mean either monuments for famous mathematicians and their achievements or works of art representing mathematical objects in public places. We present a panoply of such monuments in Finland for the purposes of the mathematical tourist visiting our country. As we are interested in symbolic representations of science, we take a broad view of the notion of “monument” and take into account also some minor artefacts, such as portraits, medals and stamps, and other semiotic signs, such as street names and commemorative plates, illustrating some highlights of the history of mathematics in Finland. Introduction Some great centres of science in the world have so many monuments for past scientists and their deeds that it has been worthwhile to publish specialized guides for visitors who wish to spot them. The Hungarian couple of science historians István and Magdolna Hargittai have recently published such guidebooks about their home city Budapest [1] but also about New York [2], Moscow [3], and London [4]. Unsurprisingly, there is a similar guidebook about Paris [5]. The German couple of mathematicians Martin and Iris Grötschel have produced an analogous book focusing on mathematical sights in Berlin [6]. The Mathematical Intelligencer has a column entitled “The Mathematical Tourist” devoted to spotting of mathematical monuments. Finland holds an honourable place in the history of mathematics as a country.

  • Fredrik Paciuksen Muistomerkki Helsingissä – Taiteilijavalinta 1894–1895
    Mari Tossavainen Fredrik Paciuksen muistomerkki Helsingissä – taiteilijavalinta 1894–1895 Säveltäjä Fredrik Paciuksen muistomerkki valmistui Helsingin Kaisaniemen puistoon kesäkuussa 1895. Muistomerkin tekijäksi oli valittu kuvanveistäjä Emil Wikström (1864–1942). Fredrik Paciusta (1809–1891) pidettiin maan musiikki- elämän perustajana, ja kuolemansa jälkeen häntä kutsuttiin ”Suomen musiikin isäksi”. Etenkin säveltämiensä Maamme-laulun (1848), Suomen kansallislaulun, sekä Suomen laulun ansiosta hänestä tuli kansallinen ikoni.1 Yhtenä suurmiehi- syyden merkkinä voidaan pitää muistomerkkiä pääkaupungissa.2 Paciuksen rinta- kuva olikin Suomen ensimmäisiä taiteilijalle omistettuja henkilömuistomerkkejä.3 Kymmenen vuotta aiemmin Helsingin Esplanadille oli valmistunut Maamme-lau- lun tekstin kirjoittaneen runoilija J. L. Runebergin muistomerkki. Fredrik Paciuksen muistomerkkiä on käsitelty kohtalaisen vähän kirjallisuudes- sa, eikä muistomerkkihanketta ole juurikaan tutkittu.4 Tähän on useita syitä, jotka liittyvät tutkimuksen käytettävissä oleviin lähteisiin, metodologiaan sekä ehkä myös kiinnostuksen puutteeseen. Paciuksen muistomerkki kuuluu Emil Wikströmin ateljeekodin Visavuoren elokuun 1896 tulipaloa edeltäneeseen aikaan. Tulipalo tuhosi Wikströmin nuoruusvuosien ja varhaisen kuvanveistäjäuran asiakirjoja ja töitä. Osittain tästä syystä Wikströmin kuvanveistäjäuran varhaisajoista, Pacius mukaan luettuna, tiedetään vähemmän kuin taiteilijan muista vaiheista. 1 Vuonna 1835 Fredrik Pacius oli Suomen ainoa koulutettu ammattisäveltäjä.

The legacies of these builders and their buildings are also to be analysed. Specifically, this thesis does not aim to answer why Finland has classical architecture, but rather what it means for this young nation to have it, especially so in such significant abundance and considering that a great many of the nation’s most important buildings have been designed in this particular style.

  • HELSINKI 57 Porvoo © Lonely Planet Publications Tuusulanjärvi AREA: 227,420 SQ KM
    © Lonely Planet Publications 57 HELSINKI Helsinki Helsinki is a sea-town par excellence and an exciting, dynamic place. Half the city seems to be water, and the tortured geography of the coastline includes any number of bays, inlets and a speckling of islands. The harbour is the heart of the city, and watching the giant ferries glide into port is a defining memory and essential Helsinki experience. Helsinki is cool without – as yet – being self-consciously so. Unlike other capitals, you sense that people go to places because they enjoy them, not to be seen. Much modern décor is ironic and humorous, and achieves stylishness by daring to differ rather than trying too hard. While not an ancient place, much of what is loveable in Helsinki is older. The style of its glorious Art Nouveau buildings, the spacious elegance of its cafés, the careful preservation of Finnish heritage in its dozens of museums, restaurants that have changed neither menu nor furnishings since the 1930s are all part of the city’s quirky charm. It has a very different feel to the rest of Finland, partly because before the days of the hi-tech society it was the country’s sole point of contact almost with the rest of the world. Like all of Finland, though, Helsinki has a dual nature. In winter you sometimes won- der where all the people are. In spring and summer they are back again, packing green spaces and outdoor tables to get a piece of blessed sun, whirring around on thousands of bicycles and kicking the city’s nightlife into overdrive.

  • The Presidential Palace Events, Such As Banquets for State Visits, Are Held in the Hall of State
    The Presidential Palace Events, such as banquets for state visits, are held in the Hall of State. Independence Day handshakes and dancing also take place there. Completed in 1907, the hall was inspired by St George’s Hall in the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. The Lex statue (1919) by Walter Runeberg is a plaster copy of the Lex section of the statue of Alexander II in Senate Square. Welcome to the Presidential Palace! The Presidential Palace is located in Helsinki, at the corner of Pohjoisesplanadi and Mariankatu, on one side of the Market Square. Drawings for the building, which was originally completed in 1820 as a merchant’s manor and designed by Pehr Granstedt, were finalised by Carl Ludvig Engel. This Empire-style building with three floors houses the study, the official reception rooms and the Office of the President of the Republic. The Palace hosts the annual Independence Day Reception and other receptions, such as state visits, meetings and negotiations. Guest arriving at the main entrance of the Presidential Palace enter via the Esplanade foyer. An Empire-style hanging basket from the 1810s is located in the foyer. The old-style marbling has been restored on the staircase walls. 3 From merchant’s manor to Imperial Palace The history of the Presidential Palace dates back about 200 years, and the building has gone through quite colourful phases. In 1809, Finland was detached from the Swedish Kingdom and became a Grand Duchy of the Russian Empire. Around this time, merchant and shipowner J. H. Heidenstrauch commissioned distinguished architect Pehr Granstedt, a fortress designer, to design a residential house on a commercial plot Heidenstrauch owned in Helsinki’s South Harbour.
