A place with history that perfectly suits this occasion
The Historical Town Hall at Markt 1 in 07743 Jena provides a dignified setting for the symposium. This historic building is one of the defining places of the old town and emphasizes the festive character of this event. For a topic like culture of remembrance, democratic tradition, and academic legacy, a dense, almost intimate festival atmosphere of thinking and listening is created here.

Science, urban society, and music intertwine
The program will begin on September 18, 2026, at 16:30 with welcome speeches and a ceremonial lecture. From 18:00, there will be short presentations and a panel discussion with representatives from the university, city archive, culture, and politics. The Jena Philharmonic will provide musical accompaniment with Brahms’ Clarinet Quintet op. 115.
