Abstract: Supersymmetric monopoles of the heterotic string theory associated with arbitrary non-negative number of the left moving modes of the string states are presented. They include H monopoles and their T dual partners F monopoles (ALE instantons). Massive F = H monopoles are T self-dual. Solutions include also an infinite tower of generic T duality covariant non-singular in stringy frame F&H monopoles with the bottomless throat geometry. The massless F = -H monopoles are invariant under combined T duality and charge conjugation converting a monopole into anti monopole. All F&H monopoles can be promoted to the exact supersymmetric solutions of the heterotic string theory since the holonomy group is the compact $SO(9)$. The sigma models for $$ monopoles, which admit constant complex structures, have enhanced world-sheet supersymmetry: (4,1) in general and (4,4) for the left-right symmetric monopoles. The space-time supersymmetric GS light-cone action in monopole background is directly convertible into the world-sheet supersymmetric NSR action.
