Patkuli (Dietrich Friedrich Patkul [?-1710])

Aka Dietrich von Friedrich Patkul, Friedrich Diederich Pattküll, etc. Swedish soldier and Vice-governor of Tallinn from 1707-1710. Apparently... Although his infamous and ill-fated relative Johann Reinhold von Patkul (1660-1707) – born in Stockholm prison and broken on the wheel in Poland for his part in the Great Northern War and desire to wrest Livonia from Swedish hands – may well have made him a more covert candidate. Name applies to both steps (trepp) and viewing-platform / belvedere (vaateplatvorm) itself on Toompark. See also Pilstickeri torn or trepp.
