Ticket sales for the city of Jena's citizens' trip to Erlangen on October 3 will start next Monday (September 4). Interested parties can purchase tickets at the Tourist Information Office, Markt 16, or - for the first time this year - buy a print@home ticket via the JenaKultur online ticket portal, which will be sent by email.

A varied cultural program awaits travelers in Erlangen. The tickets cost 20 euros and include a return coach journey and participation in the festival program in Erlangen. The trip starts on October 3, 2023 at 7.30 am at the bus station in Jena, with the return journey in Erlangen planned for around 6.30 pm. A total of 200 seats are available.

The preparatory team in our Franconian twin city has once again prepared an interesting day this year: Lutz Rathenow, writer and former State Commissioner of the Free State of Saxony for the Reappraisal of the SED Dictatorship, will speak at the ceremony. There will also be a guided tour of the Huguenot city of Erlangen, performances by two big bands from Erlangen and Jena in Palais Stutterheim, a pub quiz, a light show in the Huguenot Church and an ecumenical prayer service at the end. As every year, a table tennis and volleyball tournament will round off the program.

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

Jena's Lord Mayor Dr. Thomas Nitzsche and his Erlangen colleague Dr. Florian Janik will be there.
