On October 3, 2023, the city of Jena will once again be taking a citizens' trip to Erlangen. Travelers can look forward to a varied cultural program.

The preparatory team in the Franconian twin city has once again prepared an interesting day this year: A ceremony with speaker Lutz Rathenow, author and former State Commissioner of the Free State of Saxony for the Reappraisal of the SED Dictatorship, a city tour, performances by two big bands from Erlangen and Jena in Palais Stutterheim, the legendary pub quiz with BigKev and an ecumenical prayer service at the end are all planned.

From September 4, 2023, bus tickets for the trip to Erlangen for Partnership Day on October 3 will be available at the Tourist Information Office, Markt 16. They cost 20 euros and include the return journey by coach and participation in the festival program in Erlangen. A total of 200 seats are available.

The town twinning between Jena and Erlangen was established in 1987. For many years now, the two cities have celebrated Twinning Day together on October 3 and visit each other on this day in alternating years. This year, Erlangen is inviting all citizens of Jena to join in the celebrations.
