Sindi Manor

Sindi mõis · German: Zintenhof

Sindi takes its name from a Pärnu councillor with a dramatic past. In 1565, during the struggle for Pärnu, a gathering took place in the house of Claus Zinte at which pro-Polish landowners got hold of the key to a town gate and let their comrades into the town held by a Swedish garrison. Zinte had funded the pro-Polish side, and the same year King Sigismund II Augustus granted him lands on the Pärnu river, which became known after him as Zintenhof, in Estonian Sindi. The name later passed to the cloth factory and the workers' settlement that grew into the town of Sindi.

Eesti keeles

Sindi mõis on saanud nime dramaatilise minevikuga Pärnu raehärra järgi. 1565. aastal, võitluses Pärnu pärast, toimus Claus Zinte majas koosviibimine, mille käigus Poola-meelsed mõisamehed said enda kätte linnavärava võtme ja lasid oma võitluskaaslased Rootsi garnisoni käes olnud linna. Zinte oli Poola-meelset leeri rahaliselt toetanud ning samal aastal andis kuningas Sigismund II August talle Pärnu jõe äärseid maid, mida hakati tema järgi kutsuma Zintenhofiks ehk Sindiks. Hiljem kandus nimi kalevivabrikule ja selle ümber tekkinud töölisasulale, millest kasvas Sindi linn.
