발트 독일인: 두 판 사이의 차이

When Estonia declared its independence of the [[Soviet Union]] on August 24, 1991, the exiled association of the German Baltic nobility sent an official message to president-to-be [[Lennart Meri]] that no member of the association would claim proprietary rights to their former Estonian lands. This, and the fact that the first German ambassadors to [[Estonia]] and [[Latvia]] were both Baltic Germans, helped reconcile the peoples.

 

A number of Baltic Germans, such as [[Karl Ernst von Baer]], [[Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz]], [[Alexander von Oettingen]], and [[Adam Johann von Krusenstern]] became famous as explorers or scientists. A number of Baltic Germans, most notably [[Michael Andreas Barclay de Tolly]], served as ranking generals in the Russian army.
