Jatinegara, Administrative district in East Jakarta, Indonesia.
Jatinegara encompasses eight sub-districts across its territory, including Kampung Melayu, Cipinang Besar, and Bali Mester, forming a central part of East Jakarta.
The district, formerly known as Meester Cornelis, received its name from Cornelis Senen, a Malay-speaking preacher who obtained agricultural lands during the Dutch colonial period.
The district preserves multiple religious structures, including Saint Joseph's Church and several temples, reflecting the diverse faith communities of East Jakarta's residents.
The Jatinegara railway station, established in 1873, connects the district to other parts of Jakarta through regular train services and transportation networks.
On June 2, 1915, the Meester-Cornelis meteorite fell in this area, marking a significant geological event in the history of Jakarta Raya.
