Jena, September 10, 2026. A disruption to the district heating supply occurred in Roland-Ducke-Weg in Jena this morning after a vehicle collided with the support pillars of the above-ground pipeline.
- Event: Damage to a district heating pipeline caused by vehicle impact
- Location: Roland-Ducke-Weg (area of Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld / Oberaue), Jena
- Impact: 16 affected building connections without heating and hot water
- Status: Stadtwerke Jena Netze are working on repairs
Affected facilities in the stadium and sports school area
Due to the damage to the pipeline directly at the Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld, Stadtwerke Energie Jena-Pößneck had to bypass or shut down the supply in the affected section. In addition to the stadium and other sports facilities in the Oberaue, the 16 affected connections include the sports high school with boarding facilities, a hotel, a gym, and the Faculty of Sports Science at the Friedrich Schiller University.
Restoration work in progress
The emergency service of Stadtwerke Jena Netze is on-site. The technicians’ goal is to restore the damaged network section to operation by this evening. Checks are also underway to determine whether temporary backup supply systems, currently available in connection with ongoing municipal construction work at the Sportsteg, can be utilized to supply the affected properties more quickly.
