The Jena tramway network (German: Straßenbahnnetz Jena) is a network of tramways forming part of the public transport system in Jena, a city in the federal state of Thuringia, Germany.

Opened in 1901, the network is currently operated by Jenaer Nahverkehr [de], and is integrated in the Verkehrsverbund Mittelthüringen (VMT). It has five lines in operation.

Lines

[edit]

On 17 December 2009, a new network of lines was introduced to coincide with the opening of the new Göschwitz–Burgau line. Since December 2017 all lines are also operated in the evening/overnight.

Line Route
1 Zwätzen–Stadtzentrum–Bahnhof Göschwitz–Lobeda-West(–Lobeda-Ost)
2 Jena-Ost–Stadtzentrum–Winzerla
3 Winzerla–Bahnhof Göschwitz–Lobeda-West–Lobeda-Ost
4 Zwätzen–Stadtzentrum–Alt-Lobeda–Lobeda-West
5 Ernst-Abbe-Platz–Stadtzentrum–Alt-Lobeda–Lobeda-Ost

Lines 1 and 4 operate in fliegende Wechsel (flying exchange): i.e., at Lobeda-West all trams arriving on one of these lines departs on the other.

Rolling stock

[edit]

The fleet of the Jena tram network consists of 33 Adtranz GT6M trams, and five Solaris Tramino trams.[1] In 2019, Jenaer Nahverkehr and the City of Jena announced preparations for an invitation of tenders for new trams, which are due to be delivered from 2022.[1] Stadler won the tender for an order of 24 Tramlink vehicles in August 2020, composed of sixteen 42-meter long seven-section trams and eight 32-meter long five-section trams.[2] The first vehicle was delivered on 5 May 2023.[3] They entered service on 16 December 2023.[4]
