Jena

Thoroughly researched yet always with a wink, this book answers questions like these: Was Jena really called Bicurgium in the times of the ancient Germans? Why are hikers climbing the Jena mountains simultaneously on the floor of a sea? Did Friedrich Schiller immortalize the Jenzig in a poem? Why were a bridge and a street in Paris named after Jena? What connects the city with the global search for Stone Age people? Why does the most famous Zeiss camera depict all bodies of water in red and fields in blue? And on which East German banknote was a model company from Jena featured? Know-it-alls supposedly have an answer for everything. Oh really? You'll see!.
