The construction of 36 (including Ernst Abbe skyscraper or Zeiss building 36 ) is a historic skyscraper on the former premises of Carl Zeiss AG west of the city of Jena .
Building 36 was built between 1934 and 1935 by Georg Steinmetz and Hans Hertlein . The skyscraper has 15 floors and is 66 meters high. It is characterized by a simple reinforced concrete skeleton construction, the only facade decorations are the windows, which are covered with ashlar elements, which were executed in forms typical of the time. A renovation took place in 1994.
The sculpture “Through the night to light” by Joseph Wackerle is placed above the main entrance .
Jenoptik AG's head office is now located in the building . In 2011, on the occasion of its 20th company anniversary, the company had a show laser installed in Building 15 opposite , which has since been used to project laser projections onto the house on certain occasions.
