Jena

Jena is an old town Germany with memories of Luther, Goethe, and Schiller, in Saxe-Weimar, on the Saale, 14 miles southeast of Weimar. It has a university founded to be a centre of Reformation influence, and since associated with Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, and the Schlegels, who were teachers there. On the same day in October 14, 1806, two victories were won near the town by French troops over the Prussians, the collective name for both being "the battle of Jena."
