The north side of the church is also interesting. There you can see clear traces of the previous building in the building.

The Protestant town church of St. Michael in Jena is one of the largest late Gothic sacred buildings in Thuringia.
The hall church was built from 1380 and was completed in the 16th century. The church tower, which can be climbed, is 80 meters high. The vaulted passage under the altar is a very rare architectural feature. It is 3.5 meters high and 3 meters wide and was the only access to the Cistercian monastery founded in 1301 behind the church. Known as Ara, it is one of the seven wonders of Jena. The wooden sculpture of the Archangel Michael, the patron saint of the town and the church, dates from the first half of the 13th century.
Martin Luther preached from the stone pulpit in 1524 and 1529.
The original bronze tombstone for the reformer comes from Lucas Cranach the Elder. Ä. The Weimarer gave it to the university in 1571. There is a second cast in Wittenberg. The vault of the church with beautiful radiating stars is also impressive. In 1945 the church was badly damaged. The extensive exterior renovation was completed in 2012.
