Jena as a city worth living in

The "City of Light Jena" is one of the most popular regions in Thuringia alongside the state capital Erfurt. As a university city, Jena is young and lively. Even Friedrich Schiller appreciated the marvellous location, which became his muse. Carl Zeiss, another of the city's personalities, is known beyond the city limits as a famous mechanic. Carl-Zeiss-AG was named after him and has been a major player in the precision mechanics and optics industry since it was founded in 1946. With a total population of 20 per cent and currently around 23,300 registered students, Jena is a very young city. In warm weather, you can meet happy students in Goethepark and West Park in Lobeda. Not far from the city centre is the Dornburg rococo castle, which attracts weekend excursionists and invites you to go hiking with the whole family. In summer, there are numerous bathing spots, such as the Schleichersee lake near Jena Forest. The city and the neighbouring communities have a lot to offer for different interests and hobbies. The historic old town is lined with cosy cafés and restaurants, bars and small shops. Good medical care is guaranteed thanks to the two sites of Jena University Hospital and the specialised clinic for trauma, hand and reconstructive surgery. If you would like to find out more about the historical background, the leisure and cultural activities on offer and the advantages of the individual residential areas, our trained estate agents will be happy to answer any questions you may have about property in Jena.
