Tree troll in Jena Forest at the Bismarck Tower

Highlight • Forest

If it's either really green or foggy, the ossified trees are sure to have a completely different appeal. Then nobody would be surprised if a troll peeps out from behind such a tree. ;-)

Ernst Haeckel Memorial Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (born February 16, 1834 in Potsdam; † August 9, 1919 in Jena) was a German physician, zoologist, philosopher, draftsman and free thinker as well as a university professor in Jena, who followed the ideas of Charles Darwin from the 1860s a special theory of descent. Through his popular writings and lectures, he contributed greatly to the spread of Darwinism in Germany, which, unlike his teacher Rudolf Virchow and his opponent Emil Heinrich Du Bois-Reymond, he wanted to see integrated into school lessons. In addition, he developed a detailed embryological argument for the theory of evolution and in this context formulated the basic biogenetic law.
