125 years of Jenaer Nahverkehr

Since 1901, local transport in Jena has been part of everyday life in our city. What began with the first electric tram on Jena's streets has developed over 125 years into a modern and environmentally friendly mobility network that connects people, opens up new routes, and keeps our city moving.

125 years – that's countless stories of encounters, progress, and community. From the first trips through the city center to the introduction of new lines and modern vehicles to digital services and sustainable drives. Each era brought new challenges – and the goal was always to move Jena reliably, safely, and with heart.

This anniversary is an opportunity for us to look back with gratitude and at the same time look ahead with energy. We celebrate everyone who has shaped local transport in Jena: our passengers, employees, partners, and supporters. Without them, this success story would not have been possible.

Join us in looking forward to a special anniversary year full of activities, retrospectives, and outlooks. Discover milestones, experience exciting stories from 125 years of city transport – and accompany us on our journey toward a climate-friendly, innovative future.

125 years of Jenaer Nahverkehr – tradition that moves. A future that connects.
