    Between 1901 and 1903, the Volkshaus was built in several construction phases on the southwestern edge of the city center - today Carl-Zeiß-Platz 15. Its name should say it all. A house for the people. The house has remained true to this credo to this day. From 2017 to 2022, the entire Volkshaus was converted into a modern conference and congress center for the City of Light.

    The Volkshaus was built between 1901 and 1903 on the initiative of Ernst Abbe, mainly with funds from the Carl Zeiss Foundation. Today the building is owned by the Ernst Abbe Foundation and operated by JenaKultur. By 2022 it will be converted into a modern culture and congress center. At the same time, the Volkshaus is not only the place where the Jena Philharmonic Orchestra plays and works, but has also developed into a permanent cultural address beyond the city limits thanks to its wide range of events and rentals.
