Johann Peter "Papachen" Hoffmann in 1817 and sold by JPHs son, Georg,
in 1891 JPH was a merchant from Tallinn JPH opened a shop at
Marienhof. As there was no competition he became rich in no time . A
proper manor house was built- a long wooden building that can be seen
even to-day. Also, PJH erected a small building for officials In
1891,
however,the place was sold by "Papachens" son, Georg, to an Estonian
called Jaan Allik who had become wealthy on running a tavern. In a
building situated behind, the former Väike -Maarja school for girls
was opened in 1902. In the building for officials there was the first
hospital in Väike-Maarja with four beds and a Hoffmann worked as a
doctor at that hospital
