Summary/Abstract: The article compares Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian architecture from the 1920s and 1930s from the point of view of publicly commissioned assignments and architectural solutions. Since these three were ‘beginner’ states at the time, the extent to which they had sufficient professionals (i.e. architects) will also be addressed. Attention will also be paid to the emergence of Estonian and Latvian architecture from Baltic German culture and their architects’ continuous orientation towards Germany, while architecture in Lithuania was more heterogeneous.
