Die Saale im Blick
In the organizer's words:
Around 1800, the Jena of the early Romantics was regarded as the "stacked city of knowledge" (Goethe), but also attracted travelers, students, scientists and philosophers due to its location in the "graceful valley" on the banks of the Saale. It is therefore not surprising that from around 1790, numerous views were created that depicted the town as particularly idyllic and, for example, as a small Arcadia. This also applies to other places on the Saale, which were first published in 1786 in a 'travelogue' consisting of over 30 pictures.
The exhibition not only provides an insight into the journey along the Saale engraved by Carl Benjamin Schwarz (1757-1813), but also brings together numerous views of the city of Jena around 1800.
