Villa Rosenthal

The Rosenthal Villa was built in 1891. It was the home and center of life for the couple Eduard and Clara Rosenthal and their son Curt. Numerous testimonies attest to the cultural importance of Villa Rosenthal as a meeting place of science, art and politics. The couple promoted social exchange and supported educational programs for workers and employees. After Clara Rosenthal's death in 1941, the building was bequeathed to the city of Jena in her will and has served as a residence ever since. In 2004, the villa was taken over by jenawohnen GmbH and extensively renovated. Today, the upper floor houses a room dedicated to the memory of the Rosenthal family, and the attic is home to living and working quarters for the scholarship holders of the Clara and Eduard Rosenthal Foundation. The rooms on the first floor can be rented for seminars, meetings, conferences, exhibitions or festive occasions. The corresponds to the personal concern of the Rosenthals to promote a cultural exchange of the urban society.
