history

Seal of the municipality board member Wenigenjena an der Saale

Wenigenjena ("Klein-Jena" or "Wendisch-Jena") was created at the ford of an old east-west trade route that crosses the Saale. Yugoslavian settlement pits are proven here. The oldest cemetery in Jena, which dates back to the 9th century, was discovered in the area of the Church of Our Lady in Wenigenjena. The city archaeologist Matthias Rupp therefore assumes that Wenigenjena was the origin and the first settlement area of Jena. To the right of the Saale is the Jenzig with its steep and rocky flanks. Finds from the Bronze and Iron Ages were made in its earth . He once carried a fortified hilltop settlement with cultic significance.

Wenigenjena was first mentioned in a document in 1257, the neighboring town of Camsdorf on April 25, 1369. On April 22, 1890 the district committee decided unanimously to merge the two suburbs of Jena. The State Ministry of Saxony-Weimar decided to do so on July 9, 1891. In 1909, Wenigenjena was incorporated into Jena.
