Founded in 1558 by Elector John Frederick I of Saxony, named after Friedrich Schiller (poet/dramatist, professor here 1789-93). Approximately 18,000 students. Around 1800 Jena was the philosophical centre of Europe — **Hegel, Fichte, Schelling, Schiller, Goethe** (in nearby Weimar but closely connected), the Schlegel brothers, Novalis all worked here. **Karl Marx received his doctorate** from Jena (1841, in absentia). Notable: Otto Schott and Ernst Abbe founded Zeiss-Jena optics company connected to the university (~1880s).
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to
help people find their way to education — and the wider project
supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in
Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
