Jena calls itself the Lichtstadt — the City of Light — for good reason: Carl Zeiss, Ernst Abbe, and Otto Schott founded modern optics here, and the Zeiss planetarium of 1926 is the oldest still operating anywhere in the world. Friedrich Schiller taught history at the university where Hegel and the Romantics later gathered, and today's photonics and biotech campuses keep the tradition alive. The JenTower rises over a compact centre ringed by the wooded slopes of the Saale valley.
