History
Jenalöbnitz was first mentioned in the year 1220, when a document mentions a citizen as a witness in a trial. The village itself was first mentioned in 1395, when it was sold to the municipality of Jena.
Archaeological research has found traces of celtic settlements as old as 1500 B.C.E.[3] In the following centuries, settlements by thuringian and Slavic groups are confirmed. Remains of a Slavic castle, called "der Bühl", are only visible as a small mound.[4]
Medieval houses with regional building styles and decorative woodworking are still present in today's village. The church, built around 1395,[5] is the center of Jenalöbnitz.
