Hi, I am Sabine and welcome to my city! That's me, a tour guide who has been working mainly in Jena and Weimar for more than ten years now. It is the area where I grew up while always having a strong interest in history, English and French languages. However, due to several circumstances I studied civil engineering in the first place. My early wish became true after the reunification of Germany with a training to become a foreign languages correspondent combined with a few months working and living in Great Britain. Back in my hometown Jena I finally got the license to work as a tour guide. Since that time I have continuously discovered something new in the history of Jena, Weimar and Erfurt. Amongst my guests, there has been the Canadian ophthalmologist, who had worked for all his professional life with instruments made by the Jena founded Zeiss company. Also a traveler from the US who had followed the footsteps of Napoléon and his battles and wanted to see the battlefields of 1806, a journalist from Belgium who wrote about BAUHAUS architecture and a professor from Japan whose field of research was Classicism and Romanticism. He wanted to see the places where those two epochs once started - to mention some of them. With each of those guests I became a little bit prouder to do this beautiful job in this particular area. I look forward welcoming you one day. Best regards! Sabine - Certificate "Tour Guide of Jena". - Audited foreign language correspondent. - Certified According to DIN EN 15565. - Church certificate "Lutherfinder". I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Three Luther-Cities, Eisenach, Erfurt and Jena in Thuringia
Overview of your Eisenach tour
I invite you to see important venues connected to Martin Luther and the P. Reformation. Erfurt, the city of churches and renaissance houses. M. L. studied at Erfurt University and became a monk later. His Augustinian Monastery is one of Erfurt’s most beautiful places beside the cathedral. Eisenach, his relative’s home and the Church of St. Georg nearby commemorate his early years. However, the landmark of Eisenach is Wartburg Castle where M. L. spent several months and translated the Bible into German. His “Kingdom of the birds” is a very well attended picturesque place high above Eisenach. Jena was a second centre of the P. Ref. beside Wittenberg. At Christmas 1521, the first Lord’s Supper in both guises took place in both cities. Later, Karlstadt once Luther's friend triggered an important turning point in the P. Ref. there. The Church of St. Michael with Luther's orig. grave slab and pulpit is worth seeing as well as the Collegium Jenense. A highlight for all visitors is the Bibliotheca Electoralis.
