Back to the time of Martin Luther
It is impossible to imagine the history of the city of Jena without the “Black Bear” (“Schwarzer Bär”). The traditional inn was first mentioned in 1498. Many famous personalities such as Bismarck, Goethe, Haeckel and many politicians of modern times stayed here in its over 500-year history. We have dedicated our own historically authentic menu to a special guest: Martin Luther. Come with us on a culinary journey to the time of the Reformation and try our 4 or 5 course menu!
