The Jena Paradies train station (colloquially also called Paradiesbahnhof ) is located in the city of Jena in Thuringia on the Großheringen – Saalfeld railway line (Saalbahn). Jena Paradies was Jena's only long-distance stop from 2002 to 2017 and is served by Intercity and Intercity Express trains. It was named after the adjacent park of the same name on the eastern bank of the Saale . In operational terms, it has only been a stopping point for several decades after all points were dismantled .
location
Jena Paradies is located on the southern edge of Jena city center on a narrow strip between the city ring in the west and the Saale in the east. In front of the train station there are two tram stops and the local bus station, so that there is a connection to numerous public transport lines .
history
The Jena Paradies stop at kilometer 27.3 was put into operation on October 15, 1880. The first station building was not built until 1886 after lengthy negotiations between the Jena city administration and the Saal-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft .
In connection with the relocation of the railway line to a high embankment around 1910, the old building was replaced by the station building that was still there. The building, which is no longer used for rail traffic, contained several ticket offices, a baggage handling facility and a train station restaurant.
In the early 1950s, it was discussed whether the breakpoint to Jena Central Station expanded and by a pedestrian tunnel to the train station Jena West should be connected. This was expected to save money in the reconstruction of the war-torn train station , whose location away from the city center was already considered problematic at the time. However, these plans were not pursued any further and so the centrally located stop was only used for local transport until 1999.
In the 1993 traffic development plan, the relocation of the long-distance traffic stop of the Saale Railway from the Saalbahnhof to the Paradies stop was again required in order to achieve short transfer connections between long-distance and local rail, tram and regional bus services. This intention was confirmed in September 1996 by the Jena city council.
In the following years, a lack of money at Deutsche Bahn AG led to delays and the construction of a provisional stop, as the date for the introduction of ICE traffic on the Saalebahn was fixed and no train station in Jena had sufficiently long platforms around two coupled units of the series 411 included. The provisional facility was built south of the old location in 1998/1999 for about two million DM. The two wooden makeshift platforms went into operation on September 26, 1999, when the stop of all long-distance trains on the Berlin – Leipzig – Munich line was relocated from the Saalbahnhof.
On March 1, 2002, the construction and financing contracts for the new ICE train station were signed between Deutsche Bahn AG, the state of Thuringia and the city of Jena. The new station was to replace the existing regional train station from 2004 for 16.1 million euros.
In the course of the renovation begun in 2003, the old building of the station was abandoned because the existing island platform did not have the 370 meters length required for ICE operation. The new construction of the double outer platform between km 27.0 and 27.4 was carried out along the existing railway line while the railway was in operation.
The new station was put into operation with the small timetable change in summer 2005. It was completed six months later than planned. The official inauguration was celebrated on June 18, 2005. The construction costs were around 21 million euros.
Temporary wooden platforms were used for five years during the planning and construction phase. The transitional platform systems, which were located between the old platform and the rock cellar and which were the same length as the later new buildings, were removed and disposed of within a week from March 4, 2006.

Access to the trains is ensured by two parallel, 370-meter-long platforms on an embankment with a height of 55 centimeters above the top of the rails, each of which is roofed over a length of 117 meters and accessible via elevators.
Due to the surrounding lack of space, the premises of the train station are located below the platforms. These extend over a length of 63 meters and house the two Deutsche Bahn ticket issuers and a bakery branch, which offers baked goods as well as newspapers and other products for travel needs. The neighboring toilets can be used during their opening hours.
The embankment is broken through in the area next to the service and sales stations by an underpass, creating a passage between the city and the park. Another underpass is located further west at the level of the Paradiesbahnhof West tram stop and thus still below the platforms. Overall planner of the project was Michael Hanka, initially under IFB Dr. Braschel AG, from 2004 with his own office Hanka & Nolte Architects .
Travelers who want to change to the Holzlandbahn ( Erfurt - Weimar - Gera ), the second railway line running through Jena, have to use the Jena West station , which is about 800 meters away, or alternatively change at the Jena-Göschwitz station a few kilometers to the south .
Transport links
In the 2020 timetable year, Jena Paradies station will be served by the following long-distance and local rail passenger transport lines:
| line | Course of the journey | Cycle (min) | operator |
|---|---|---|---|

In the year the new facility went into operation, in 2005, the station was served by ICE trains every two hours, individual weekend intercity trains and 70 regional trains per day. According to information from Deutsche Bahn in 2012, the 32 ICE trains stopping daily had an average of 15 boarding and disembarking passengers.
With the commissioning of the new Ebensfeld – Erfurt line in December 2017, the station lost its status as a system stop for DB long-distance traffic. As a replacement, new regional express lines to Leipzig and Halle were set up, each running every two hours. DB Fernverkehr continues to offer two pairs of trains between Jena and Berlin, which they say do not cover their costs.
According to the planning status from 2010, after the commissioning of the new line, individual long-distance trains should be run via Jena in the outskirts of the day. Two years later, it was planned to reduce the ICE train service to two pairs of trains per day (to and from Berlin). At the end of 2015, two ICE connections to Berlin were to be offered in the morning, with one train each running in the opposite direction in the afternoon and evening. The travel time from Jena to Leipzig increased from around one hour to one and a half hours from December 2017, while that to Frankfurt, Bamberg or Munich remained more or less unchanged. With the extension of the Franconia-Thuringia Express to Leipzig, the travel time fell back to 65 minutes.
In December 2023, after the traffic contract for the Franken-Thuringia Express has expired, a two-hour intercity line from Karlsruhe via Stuttgart, Nuremberg, Saalfeld and Jena to Leipzig will be launched, seven years earlier than initially planned. The long-distance train is to replace the regional traffic between Jena and Nuremberg. The IC line Leipzig – Karlsruhe has been running once a day via Jena since December 2017.
From the 2015/16 timetable change to the 2016/17 timetable change on December 9, 2016, an IC train pair on line 50 (train pair IC 2152/2153) will run between Düsseldorf and Jena (previously Dresden). This compound is a since June 12, 2016 IC2 - garnish served. On this Central-Germany connection between Düsseldorf and Thuringia, there is no Intercity, which started daily at 5.20 a.m. in Cologne and reached Jena at 11.25 a.m. (IC 2153).
Bus and tram connections : Directly at the train station, several lines of the Jena tram serve the Paradiesbahnhof and Paradiesbahnhof (West) stops. The bus station, which is served by city bus routes and numerous regional bus routes, is not far away .
