About Burgau
What are the main landmarks in Burgau?
One church belongs to Burgau. The Dreifaltigkeitskirche stands in the district itself, while the Dorfkirche Winzerla, the Kirche Wöllnitz and St. Peter in Lobeda carry the names of the surrounding parts of Jena. GalaxSea is the outlier.
The Ján Kollár memorial in Lobeda closes a short list, and the whole of it can be covered in an afternoon without leaving the southern side of Jena.
What is the history of Burgau?
Village churches mark the record. Burgau has no founding year on file, and the older layer of the southern side of Jena survives instead in the church names of Winzerla, Wöllnitz and Lobeda, each of which reads as a village name rather than a city one. Burgau's own church is the Dreifaltigkeitskirche.
A memorial to Ján Kollár stands over in Lobeda, the one commemorative name on this side of Jena that points beyond the parish record.
Where is Burgau?
Burgau covers a small patch of southern Jena in Thuringia, close to the quarters that carry the names Winzerla, Wöllnitz and Lobeda. Compact ground.
