Krulli (Krulli)
New street, 2021, along with Mootori and Uus-Volta. Named ultimately after Franz Krull, a German coppersmith who founded a company in Narva in 1865 manufacturing distillation equipment, particularly vodka. Moving to Tallinn, production expanded to boilers, cisterns, locomotives and refrigeration equipment. Following a varied career in Communist, German, bankers’ and a thieving brother-in-law’s hands, it became the Tallinna Masinatehas (machine-works) in 2018 and, torn between boilers and refrigeration, opted for heat exchangers.
