History
the University of Tartu (Universitas Dorpatensis) was re-opened, with Georg Friedrich Parrot as its first rector.
Medical scientist Daniel Georg Balk founded and opened the Clinicum Universitatis Dorpatensis in Burger Dahlström’s house in Tartu, on Riga Hill.
The Clinicum Universitatis Dorpatensis was moved to Toome, a separate stone house rebuilt from the barracks.
