Jenalöbnitz is a municipality in the district Saale-Holzland, in Thuringia, Germany.
Jenalöbnitz was first mentioned in the year 1220, when a document mentions a citizen as a witness in a trial. The village itself was first mentioned in 1395, when it was sold to the municipality of Jena.
Archaeological research has found traces of celtic settlements as old as 1500 B.C.E. In the following centuries, settlements by thuringian and Slavic groups are confirmed. Remains of a Slavic castle, called "der Bühl", are only visible as a small mound.[2]
Medieval houses with regional building styles and decorative woodworking are still present in today's village. The church, built around 1395,[3] is the center of Jenalöbnitz.
