    Built in 1970, JenTower is in the list of the tallest buildings in Germany. It is always in sight when you roam around Jena. You can take an elevator and go up for 6€. The view is amazing, seeing all sides of the city. Additionally, you have chance to have a breakfast or meal there at the Tower. Personally, prices are moderate.

    City landmark which peeps can use to orient themselves when super drunk. Views from the top are gorgeous, in Jena standards. Worth going. But the price for going to top can be reduced, in my opinion. I think it’s something like three euros. Definitely worth going after sunset

    Jena Tower costs €6 and is a must for anyone visiting Jena. Elevators take you up to the 27th floor in a matter of seconds and then the observation deck is on the 28th floor (another lift). The views from the top of the tower are simply spectacular with observation points around the whole tower. Remember a coat and hat! It is quite windy up there. Would be useful to have metal plaques at the top to point out landmarks, as the paper version just flew around all over the place!

    We had a spectacular dinner in the JenTower. An elevator takes you to floor 27 and from there another elevator takes you to floor 29. The view is very nice. The food is modern and visually appealing. The quality can be described as good. The design inside is very modern, but unfortunately a little dark. A good place for a relaxing evening with friends.

    The Jentower, also known as the JenTower, is a prominent landmark and high-rise building located in the city of Jena, Germany. It is one of the tallest buildings in Thuringia, reaching a height of approximately 144 meters (472 feet). The tower is named after its main tenant, the Jenoptik Group, an international technology company specializing in photonics and optics. The construction of the Jentower began in 1998 and was completed in 2002. It was designed by the architect Peter Kulka and features a modern architectural style. The building's exterior is characterized by a glass façade and a distinctive curved shape, which contributes to its unique appearance on Jena's skyline. The Jentower serves as a multifunctional complex, hosting various facilities and services. It primarily serves as office space for several companies, including the aforementioned Jenoptik Group. Additionally, the tower houses a panoramic restaurant on the top floor, offering visitors a breathtaking view of Jena and its surroundings. The Jentower has become an iconic symbol of Jena and is often featured in promotional materials and postcards representing the city. It not only provides functional office space but also contributes to the architectural diversity of the urban landscape.

    Guess to date back to 80'ies of the building. After then it is renovierted surely. As usual, now as well is the building holds the reputation of the highest building in the city. Still hosts some of its floors as Jena Universität storeys. Increasing number of high technology companies still take place at this building. Told as an old story that it hosted as Carl Zeiss company many years ago.
