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.

Overview of your Weimar tour

In this tour you will learn why Napoléon and his army could win on the 14th of October 1806. Listen to the course of the battle on historical ground and feel touched by reports of eyewitnesses who have described the arrival of Napoléon and his soldiers opposite them and later what "taking part in a battle" actually meant. Get to know the different strategies and hear from an individual fate. What meant the historic event for the little town Jena? I will tell it to you and a lot more in this tour. The little museum is not included in the tour. It can be seen on request and in dependence of the opening hours. Furthermore I recommend the little private museum with many original items. Let me know if you are interested in seeing it. Attention! The next Battle-Reenactment will be in October 2026!
