Monument to the Baltic Battalion

In the courtyard at Kohtu 6 on Toompea stands a memorial to the fighters of the Baltic Battalion, the unit of local Baltic Germans that fought on the Estonian side in the War of Independence. It was unveiled on 2 December 1928 in front of the building of the German cultural self-government, which today houses the Estonian Academy of Sciences. During the Soviet occupation the memorial was demolished. It was rebuilt on the same spot in the 1990s.

Eesti keeles

Toompeal Kohtu tänav 6 sisehoovis seisab mälestussammas Balti pataljoni võitlejatele – kohalike baltisakslaste üksusele, mis võitles Vabadussõjas Eesti poolel. Sammas avati 2. detsembril 1928 Saksa kultuuromavalitsuse hoone ees, kus praegu asub Eesti Teaduste Akadeemia. Nõukogude okupatsiooni ajal mälestusmärk lammutati. Samasse kohta taastati see 1990. aastatel.
