Wolfrum remains: Continuity at Jenawohen secured by 2031!

Jena, Deutschland - The Stadtwerke Jena Group relies on continuity: Tobias Wolfrum, the current managing director of Jenawohnen GmbH, was appointed for another term. His new term will last from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2031. The Supervisory Board of Stadtwerke Energie Jena-Pößneck GmbH approved the recovery in its most recent meeting. Dr. Thomas Nitzsche, Mayor of Jena and chairman of the Supervisory Board, emphasizes the importance of Wolfrum's commitment and experience. Under his leadership, important topics such as sustainable neighborhood development and the progressive digitization in the city were promoted.

While Wolfrum continues his business at Jenawahn, his work as the managing director of Jenergie GmbH on October 30, 2025. His successor in this office becomes Susanne Lippmann, who has been working as a division manager in technical management at Jenawoh since 2019. Lippmann will act as managing director of Jenergie GmbH until October 30, 2030. Christoph Kindt remains active in society as a second managing director. Jenergie GmbH is a 100 percent subsidiary of Stadtwerke Energie Jena-Pößneck and has set itself the goal of developing innovative ideas for smart quarters.

innovative projects in Jena

The Jenergie GmbH has already expanded its work. So she started her operational business on January 12, 2021. The main goal of society is to actively help shape the energy transition and to develop innovative ideas and services for smart residential areas. Particular attention is paid to the model project "Smartes Quartier Jena-Lobeda", in which Jenergie plays a central role. The municipal housing company Jenawohn is currently renovating around 270 apartments in Ziegesarstrasse, 143 of which are intended as social housing.

The renovated apartments are equipped with modern smart home applications. This gives tenants access to various service offers in the areas of energy, health, mobility, logistics and purchasing. The learning effects from this model project should not only be used for Jenawheans, but also in other residential projects in and around Jena. Jenergie has therefore clearly relied on the energy and climate guns in residential quarters.

joint efforts for a sustainable future

As part of the “City and District Development” sub-project, the city of Jena is also ensured that in addition to the energy-related aspects, social and social factors are also taken into account. The goal is a democratic and gender orientation of the energy transition. The focus is on linking central and decentralized energy concepts, whereby citizens: increasingly as a prosumer: inside - i.e. as producers and consumers - are included in the design of energy supply. Innovative approaches from the citizens' energy movement also come into play here.

The Jena region continues to focus on increased local energy supply by citizens' energy communities, which is considered a supplementary level to the local care structure. This committed procedure helps to advance the energy transition and to make the city sustainable.
