Time travel through Jena's traffic history: Jubilee week 2023

jena. The upcoming anniversary week invites the citizens of Jena to experience and appreciate the history of local transport in an entertaining way.

A look back at the Jena local transport

The Jena local transport celebrates remarkable milestones with historical vehicles this month, which are not only part of the street scene, but also the culture of memory of the city. During the anniversary week, from August 26th to September 1st, several events come together to appreciate this special occasion. This initiative stands not only for the nostalgia of past times, but also for the awareness of the community about its traffic history.

The overwhelming legacy of the historic railcars

The program of the anniversary week

The anniversary week contains a multifaceted program. In addition to city tours with the historic railcars, special lectures and a photo exhibition are also planned to deal with the history of local transport in Jena. Specifically, traffic engineer Konrad Spath will bring the development and importance of the Jena local transport closer to the audience, which takes place in the Stadtwerke Jena customer center. This event is free of charge, but a pre -registration is recommended because the places are limited.

Special trips with the railcar 26

trips with the railcar 26 take place on Monday, August 26, at 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. from wood market and offer an insight into the past of local transport. Tickets for these nostalgic tours are available for 10 euros per person and can be bought in the customer center. The low fee makes the visit accessible to everyone interested.

party railway as a social meeting point

In addition, the Jena party railway, which went into operation in 2004, will offer special trial trips. This opportunity to experience the railway as an event location shows how local transport not only promotes transport but also community. Various trips are planned on Tuesday, August 27, at 2 p.m., 3 p.m., 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. from wood market. The tickets cost 10 euros, and here too the focus remains on the integrative experience for all ages.

a competition for all interested parties

In order to address a particularly large number of people, the Jena local transport organizes a competition in which tickets are raffled off for exclusive trips. If you are interested, you can take part by August 19 by sending an email to the company. This also promotes the sense of community and the connection with the history of local transport.

The anniversary week not only offers an opportunity to celebrate the past times, but also shows how important public transport is for social communication in the city. Every car tells a story, and with every trip another story comes alive.
