F. G. W. von Struve

The Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve Monument was erected in 1969 on Toomemägi (Dome Hill) at Tartu, Estonia, in front of the University of Tartu Old Observatory. The concept and design of the sculpture were by two Estonians: sculptor Olav Männi and architect Udo Ivask. Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve served as director of Dorpat Observatory and later as director of Pulkovo Observatory.
