Kollegienkirche, Former university church in Jena, Germany
The Kollegienkirche stood as a substantial Gothic structure with a single side aisle on the north side and a three-bay choir in the east section.
The building started as a Dominican monastery church in 1286, founded by brothers Albert and Hermann von Lobdeburg, before becoming the University of Jena's church.
The church contained 83 grave plates and 38 epitaphs, predominantly from the 17th and 18th centuries, marking the final resting places of university professors.
The building underwent major reconstruction in 1557, when interior walls and intermediate ceilings divided the space into 36 rooms for student accommodations.
During the air raid on Jena in March 1945, the church sustained severe damage, leading to its demolition in 1947 under Soviet occupation.
