Tartu, Estonia – A commemoration event was held on March 9th to mark the 165th anniversary of the birth of Villem Reiman, a key figure in Estonia’s national movement. The event unfolded across multiple locations, beginning in Kolga-Jaani and Viljandi before culminating at the monument dedicated to Reiman on Toomemägi in Tartu. Attendees gathered at the monument to honor Reiman’s legacy and reflect on his contributions to the national movement.

A floral wreath and candles were placed at the site, and speeches were delivered recalling Reiman’s activities and significance. Ants Tooming, chairman of Reiman’s Collegium and an organizer of the event, offered a thoughtful perspective. He drew an analogy, stating that “in the case of a beautiful house we praise the facades and admire the beautiful windows, curtains and doorways.”

The ceremony served as a moment of remembrance and reflection on the life and work of Villem Reiman, a pivotal figure in Estonian history.

The event highlighted the continued importance of Reiman’s legacy and the ongoing efforts to preserve his memory.
