Information:

Since the end of the 19^th century, physics has blossomed in Jena. This can be attributed to the work of Ernst Abbe at the university. Professors like Max Wien, Felix Auerbach, Abraham Esau, Georg Joos, and Friedrich Hund also contributed greatly to this development. Traditionally, the optical sector has played a special role in instruction and research at the university. In addition to the non-linear and integrated optics, the solid and theoretical physics also influence the profile of the faculty. Furthermore, the "Alma Mater Jenensis" is one of the few universities in Germany that includes Astronomy in its instruction and research.
