The Carl-Zeiss-Platz is a street and a urban square in the western city center of Jena . The non-official spelling Carl-Zeiss-Platz is often used .
The most noticeable design element on site is the Ernst Abbe monument in the middle of the square in the narrower sense.
To the northeast of the square begins the structural covering of the Leutra, which rises in the Mühltal . The creek is completely overbuilt from Carl-Zeiß-Platz.
On the north side is the historic area of the university clinic , whose clinics are to move step by step to the Neulobeda district . The future use of the building complex has not been clarified, in summer 2019 the Ernst Abbe library, which was formerly located in the Volkshaus, moved into it. On the northeast side, the buildings of the former main Carl Zeiss factory dominate at today's Ernst-Abbe-Platz , and the Goethe Gallery has one of its main entrances here.
The south side of the square with the Optical Museum and the Volkshaus , including the Jena Philharmonic , bear witness to the spiritual life of the city. The Eugen Diederichs publishing house was located in this area in the first half of the 20th century and is now an imprint of the Random House publishing group . The publishing house was destroyed in 1945 and later not rebuilt. The architect Karl Timler , a co-founder of the Jenaer Kunstverein , opened Café Westend am Platz in 1884 , which was succeeded by Café Kosmos until 1993 .
The street Carl-Zeiß-Platz connects Jahnstraße, Bachstraße, Carl-Zeiß-Straße, Lutherstraße and Ernst-Abbe-Straße.
