Monument to Friedrich Robert Faehlmann

In front of the Old Anatomical Theatre on Toome hill in Tartu stands Voldemar Mellik's bronze bust of Friedrich Robert Faehlmann, doctor and founder of Estonian national literature, unveiled on 18 May 1930. In 1927 the Estonian Doctors' Society and the Learned Estonian Society formed a committee in his memory, which first paid the long-unsettled bills for his grave plot and repaired his grave at St John's cemetery. The monument itself was funded by an album about Faehlmann, a nationwide collection and the Cultural Endowment; granite base and bust cost 5,800 kroons.

Eesti keeles

Tartu Toomemäel Vana Anatoomikumi ees seisab Voldemar Melliku pronksbüst arstist ja eesti rahvusliku kirjanduse rajajast Friedrich Robert Faehlmannist, avatud 18. mail 1930. 1927. aastal moodustasid Tartu Eesti Arstide Selts ja Eesti Kirjanduse Selts komitee tema mälestuse jäädvustamiseks; esmalt tasus see aastakümneid maksmata olnud hauaplatsi arved ja seadis korda tema haua Jaani kalmistul. Monumendi raha saadi Faehlmanni albumi väljaandmisest, üleriigilisest korjandusest ja Kultuurkapitalist; graniitalus ja büst maksid kokku 5800 krooni.
