Jena: A Century of Industrial History
At the center of the current excursion tips is the special exhibition on the history of the substation in Jena. The former substation in the north of the city is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and provides visitors with an exciting insight into the technical development of the region.
🏛️ History & Building: Built in 1926, the substation is one of Thuringia’s most significant industrial witnesses. After its decommissioning in 1992, the site transformed through the arrival of Imaginata in 1999 into a center for experiments and science, which is now known far beyond Jena as an extracurricular place of learning.
