To this day, Jena is defined by ZEISS and the Carl Zeiss Foundation. Abbe’s sociopolitical ideas and talent as a scientist continue to have an impact today. Other traces of their lives have since faded. This historical tour takes you to places where their impact on the modern townscape is still visible. Two speakers provide you with the essential facts and tell a host of stories that bring the two men to life. Contemporary statements and letters are quoted. The tour features some 70 historic photographs.
