History
Although never a big sport in the former East Germany, basketball was played in Jena since the 1960s. In 1994, a new basketball program was found in the "Turn- und Sportverein (TuS) Jena". Starting in the lower divisions the club gained promotion to the second division (2. Liga Süd) in 2001. Once established in professional sports the club started to become a basketball only organization with the founding of the Baskets Jena GmbH which now holds the license.
The biggest success so far has been the promotion to the 1st division (BBL) in 2007. The stay in the top league lasted only one year with the club finishing last after an eventful year. With the promotion, the team switched to the bigger "JenArena" which allowed attendances up to 3.000 in a temporary construction. Financial difficulties in maintaining the "JenArena" led to a return to the gym "Werner-Seelenbinder-Halle".
In the 2015–16 season, Jena won the ProA championship by beating SC Rasta Vechta in the Finals and was promoted back to the Bundesliga.
In 2021, the team changed its name from Science City Jena to Medipolis SC Jena.
Known for their strong defensive play and fast-paced offense, Science City Jena has a dedicated fan base that fills the stands at their home games. The team is known for their teamwork and chemistry on the court, with players working together to create scoring opportunities and shut down their opponents on defense.
With a history of success in the Bundesliga, Science City Jena is a formidable opponent for any team they face. Their commitment to excellence and passion for the game make them a respected and competitive force in German basketball.
