During his time, the biologist, physician, and philosopher had a lasting impact on scientific Jena, particularly as a global advocate of Darwin's theory. He gifted the city the world's only Phyletic Museum. Furthermore, his magnificent drawings, such as "Art Forms of Nature," are an integral part of Jena's cultural landscape.

A little over 100 year old covered wooden bridge.

It's nice that such buildings are still well preserved.

🏛️ Historical Overview - Built around 1750 as a classic watermill. - 1886: The mill burned down but was soon rebuilt. - 1905: Mill operations ceased, and the buildings were given new functions. --- 🏭 Industrial Use - Around 1900, Paul Oschatz took over the mill and founded the "Marmor- und Metallwerk Hetschburg," which initially produced artificial marble and later even explosives. - From 1915 onwards, the mill became the metal goods factory "Possin & Döpping GmbH," which produced silver-plated murals and luxury items. - Production continued until 1988, despite environmental concerns—including a 1921 study that investigated a link between the factory and an eye disease in brown trout.

Great wooden bridge 🤩. But be careful, it's still busy in places.

The Buchfarter Felsenburg, located on the steep shell limestone slope of the Illm River, is the only structure of its type in Central Germany and of particular cultural and historical significance. It was originally a castle complex belonging to the Counts of Orlamünde. Around the 12th century, 12 chambers of varying sizes were carved into the steep rock face in a row extending approximately 110 meters in length and at a height of 40 meters above the Illm River. The chambers were connected by a Romanesque hillside wall. Some wall remains and a round-arched doorway are still visible today. The rock castle had no military significance in the late Middle Ages. However, it served as a fully developed, impregnable refuge for a long line of counts, dukes, and electors.
