Eduard Profittlich was a German Jesuit prelate who served as the Apostolic Administrator of Estonia starting in 1931. Born in 1890, he dedicated his life to missionary work and pastoral leadership, eventually becoming a titular archbishop in 1936. During his tenure, he worked to integrate the Catholic Church into Estonian society, establishing new parishes and publishing religious literature. Following the Soviet occupation of Estonia, he remained with his flock, which eventually led to his arrest by Soviet authorities and his death in a prison in Kirov in 1942.
