A pavilion in the heart of the city: The historic Ernst Abbe Memorial commemorates a significant figure in the Saale city. Ernst Abbe is certainly one of Jena's greatest figures. He was a physicist, inventor, entrepreneur, and social reformer: Henry van de Velde designed and erected this monumental memorial pavilion in 1909/1911 in honor of Ernst Abbe. It is truly a work of art of European stature. The pavilion's interior houses bronze reliefs by Constantin Emile Meunier and a marble herm by Max Klinger with a portrait bust of the former co-founder of the Zeiss factory. The eight-sided, temple-like central structure has a monumental effect. Constructed of limestone, with four portals and bronze folding doors, an inlaid floor, and a skylight dome in a reinforced concrete structure, the memorial dominates the square named after Abbe's colleague, Carl Zeiss. The costs for the construction and artistic furnishing of the memorial hall were primarily covered by donations from the people of Jena. https://www.visit-jena.de/sehen-und-erleben/sehenswuerdigkeiten/ernst-abbe-denkmal/

Founded in 1558, the Friedrich Schiller University Jena is one of the oldest universities in Germany. And the university is far from outdated. With innovative teaching and research, it is committed to the future. The university includes the Collegium Jenense, the site of the university's founding, the historic main building of the Friedrich Schiller University, and the campus Ernst-Abbe-Platz with the Stella sculptures. The campus of the Friedrich Schiller University, the neighboring Ernst-Abbe-Platz, is particularly noteworthy for visitors. The entire rectangular, approximately 46,000 square meter building complex of the former Zeiss headquarters was remodeled and put to new uses in the 1990s. In addition to the architecturally outstanding "Goethe Galerie" shopping mall (with an integrated four-star hotel), the university campus was built on the neighboring Ernst-Abbe-Platz. There is a cafeteria, several lecture halls, numerous institutes, and a central tram stop. This very modern square is adorned with five sculptures by the American artist Frank Stella from the so-called Hudson River Valley Series of 1995. https://www.visit-jena.de/sehen-und-erleben/sehenswuerdigkeiten/universitaet-jena/
