Tartu (English spelling)
Derpt, German name Dorpat. A city in eastern Estonia. A fortified settlement existed since the 5th century, and the Russians built a castle in 1030. Around 1224, it fell into the hands of the Teutonic Knights, and after passing through Russia, Sweden, and Poland, it was annexed by Russia in 1704. The university, founded in 1632 by Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus, moved to Pjarnu in the west in 1699 to avoid the Russian advance, and closed in 1710, but reopened in Tartu in 1802. It is now the University of Tartu, and is famous for its attached observatory, museum, botanical garden, and library with about 3 million books. There are factories for agricultural machinery, leather, food, printing, etc. It is about 170 km southeast of the capital Tallinn, and is a junction of railways and highways. Population 114,000 (1989 estimate).
