Pikk Hermann (0)
Tall Hermann. The first part was built from 1360-70, then completed in the 16th C. Why it earned its nickname of Hermann in the Middle Ages remains unknown. Some suggest that Hermann is a German word for sõdalane, poetic term for warrior, or pealik, chief, which may be so, MLG hērman meant nobleman; but Koebler (see Refs.) also gives hērmēster (Master of Men?) as ‘army commander’, or highest dignitary of the Livonian Order of the Sword’, which seems compelling, where a shift from master to man to surname is not unlikely. ‘Tall’ is pretty obvious. See also Pilstickeri torn.
