He has had lots of memories playing for Arsenal but during the 2007-2008 season he got injured and then was replaced by Manuel Almunia after a poor start to the season.
He came back on December the 1st from his knee injury.
Now Jens has played 1 or 2 games for Germany and now is probably going to quit Arsenal and he is thinking to go to a German team.
And now Arsenal have to say another goodbye to their 3rd recent mover.
Jens has just began to play again after his bad injury (knee injury).
He played at least a game for Germany on December the 6th 2007.
Unfortunantly he let in 3 goals and saved 22 from going in to the goals.
Jens now might live in Germany forever because he is leaving Arsenal and moves in July 2008 to Stuttgart.

The Germany national football team ( or Die Mannschaft) is the national football team in Germany.
The team has won the 1954 FIFA World Cup, 1974 FIFA World Cup, 1990 FIFA World Cup and 2014 FIFA World Cup.
The team came as second in the 1966 FIFA World Cup, 1982 FIFA World Cup, 1986 FIFA World Cup and in 2002 FIFA World Cup.
In the 1934 FIFA World Cup, 1970 FIFA World Cup, 2006 FIFA World Cup and 2010 FIFA World Cup, the team got third place.
The current coach is Joachim Löw and soon to be Hansi Flick.
From 1950 to 1990, the team was mainly West Germany.
Other teams were around that are now part of Germany.
These include the East German team (1952-1990) and the Saarland team (1950-1956).
Germany has always been one of the best teams in the world.
Germany is the only team to have won men's and women's world cup titles.
Also, Germany's main rivals are England, the Netherlands and Argentina.
The teams recent performance in a tournament was a victory over Argentina to win the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
In the semi-final against Brazil, Germany thrashed them with a 7–1 win, making it the largest win in FIFA World Cup semi-final history.
Miroslav Klose, one of the greatest German players of all time, also scored a record breaking goal that made him the top scorer in FIFA World Cup history.
Oliver Kahn and Michael Ballack era
After another World Cup exit in 1998, Germany's status as one of the best teams in the world was beginning to go away.
In the UEFA Euro 2000, Germany failed to advance to the next round, after losing two matches and one draw in the group stage.
The manager at the time then resigned and was replaced by Rudi Völler.
Going into the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the expectations for Germany was low because of the mediocre performance in the qualifiers.
However, they performed very well in the World Cup, eventually making it to the finals but losing to Brazil 0–2.
Miroslav Klose of Germany won the Silver Boot and Oliver Kahn won the Golden Ball.
Germany again failed to advance to the next round in the UEFA Euro 2004 after they tied two matches and lost one.
The manager Rudi Völler resigned shortly afterwards.
Jürgen Klinsmann then replaced him, although having no experience.
Joachim Löw was also assigned to assist him.
Klinsmann made Michael Ballack captain after the Euro 2004.
Klinsmann main goal was to help Germany perform well in the next world cup.
Before the tournament, not many people expected Germany to do well because of their performance in the last tournaments.
However, Germany won the first match of the tournament against Costa Rica.
They continued to build confidence, and they eventually advanced to next stage with three wins in the group stage.
Germany then beat Sweden 2–0 in the Round of 16.
Germany then faced favourites Argentina in the quarter-finals.
Argentina took the lead first in the match with a goal by Roberto Ayala in the 49th minute.
Miroslav Klose then equalized with a goal at the 80th minute.
The game later went to a penalty shootout, with Germany winning 4–2 and their goalkeeper Jens Lehmann making two saves.
Although many then expected Germany to reach the final, they lost in the Semi-finals to Italy after Italy scored two goals in extra time.
However, the German team went on to thrash Portugal 3–1 in the third place match.
After the World Cup, Miroslav Klose won the Golden Boot and Lukas Podolski won the Best Young Player award.
Also, four of Germany's players were put in the All-Star squad.
When the German team arrived back in Berlin, they were greeted by 500,000 fans who were all honoring the German team.
Joachim Löw takes the throne
Klinsmann left the German team after the World Cup, with Joachim Löw taking the throne.
Löw was known for often putting young players in the team.
The German team then easily qualified for the UEFA Euro 2008.
In the final tournament, Germany advanced to the next round after they finished the group stage with two wins and one loss to Croatia.
Germany then played Portugal in the quarter-finals and beat them 3–2 with goals from Bastian Schweinsteiger, Miroslav Klose and Michael Ballack.
They then went to the Semi-finals against Turkey and barely defeated them 3–2 after Philipp Lahm scored on the 90th minute.
In the final of the Euro 2008, Spain were the favourites but Germany was believed to have a chance.
Spain took control of the game and with Fernando Torres's goal, Spain won the tournament.

Ikebana (Japanese: 生け花 or いけばな) is the Japanese art of making flower arrangements.
The word "Ikebana" means " to make alive flowers".
People who want to do Ikebana have to learn many things.
It is not just about putting flowers in a vase.
Japanese flower arrangements often have special meanings.
There are many ways in which Ikebana can be taught.
These schools (ways of teaching) include Ikenobo, Sogetsu, Ohara.
Ikenobo is very well known.
Until the Mid-Edo Period it was only for upper class people.
Ikenobo was started by a Buddhist priest called Ikenobo Senkei in the 15th century.
It uses standing flowers (called "rikka").
It is a Buddhist way of showing the beauty of nature.
There are 7 branches.
Each branch represents something in nature, e.g. a hill, valley, waterfall etc.
Later, in the 17th century, it became simpler and was called "shoka".
Shoka uses just 3 branches called "ten" (heaven), "chi" (earth) and "jin" (man).
Another form of Ikebana is called cha-bana.
It is used in tea ceremony.
ikebana is used in homes too.
Today Ikebana is very popular among all classes of people in Japan.
15 million people in Japan practice Ikebana.

David Michael Letterman (born April 12, 1947) is an American television host and comedian.
He currently hosts My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman on Netflix.
He hosted the late night television talk show Late Show with David Letterman on CBS.
Letterman also hosted Late Night with David Letterman on NBC.
In 2013, Letterman surpassed friend and mentor Johnny Carson as the longest-serving late-night talk show host in TV history, at 31 years.
Letterman's ironic comedy is similar to comedians such as Andy Kaufman, Ernie Kovacs, and Tonight Show hosts Johnny Carson and Steve Allen.
Letterman was born in Indianapolis, Indiana.
His father, Harry Joseph Letterman, was a florist of English ancestry; his mother Dorothy Letterman, a church secretary of German ancestry, has been an occasional figure on the show, usually at holidays and birthdays.
He lived on the north side of Indianapolis, not far from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
He enjoyed collecting model cars, including racers.
In 2000, he told an interviewer for Esquire that, while growing up, he admired his father's ability to tell jokes and be the life of the party.
Harry Joseph Letterman survived a heart attack at age 36, when David was a young boy.
The fear of losing his father was constantly with Letterman as he grew up.
The elder Letterman died of a second heart attack at age 57.

A tide is the periodic rising and falling of Earth's ocean surface caused mainly by the gravitational pull of the Moon acting on the oceans.
Tides cause changes in the depth of marine and estuarine (river mouth) waters.
Tides also make oscillating currents known as tidal streams (~'rip tides').
This means that being able to predict the tide is important for coastal navigation.
The strip of seashore that is under water at high tide and exposed at low tide, called the intertidal zone, is an important ecological product of ocean tides.
The height of tides varies somewhat with the phases of the Moon.
At New Moon and Full Moon, tides are higher because the Sun's tidal force adds to the Moon's.
This is called "spring tide".
Two tides a day
In most places, there are two tides a day.
They each have a high point (the high tide) and a low point (the low tide).
We speak of a "flood tide" coming in towards high tide, and an "ebb tide" going out towards low tide.
The period of the tide is about 12 hours and 25.2 minutes, exactly half a tidal lunar day.
The Moon orbits the Earth in the same direction as the Earth rotates on its axis, so it takes slightly more than a day—about 24 hours and 50 minutes—for the Moon to return to the same location in the sky.
During this time, it has passed overhead once and underfoot once, so in many places the period of strongest tidal forcing is the above-mentioned, about 12 hours and 25 minutes.
This is analogous to the minute hand on a watch crossing the hour hand at 12:00 and then again at about 1:05½ (not at 1:00).
Because a gravitational field weakens with distance, the Moon's gravity exerts a slightly stronger pulling force on the side of the Earth facing the Moon, and a slightly weaker force on the opposite side.
The Moon thus tends to "stretch" the Earth slightly along the line connecting the two bodies.
The solid Earth deforms a bit, but ocean water, being fluid, is free to move much more in response to the tidal force, particularly horizontally.
As the Earth rotates, the magnitude and direction of the tidal force at any particular point on the Earth's surface change constantly; although the ocean never reaches equilibrium—there is never time for the fluid to "catch up" to the state it would eventually reach if the tidal force were constant—the changing tidal force nonetheless causes rhythmic changes in sea surface height.

Tidal force is caused by gravity and makes tides happen.
This is because the gravitational field changes across the middle of a body (the diameter).

Tidal energy, sometimes called tidal power, is using the energy contained in the nature of islam in tides and open ocean currents for hydroelectricity.
Tidal energy systems can extract either kinetic energy (energy caused by movement) from the moving water of rivers, tides and open ocean currents; or potential energy from the difference in height (or head) between high and low tides.
The first method - generating energy from tidal currents - is becoming more popular because people believe that it does not harm the environment as much as barrages or dams.
Many coastal sites worldwide are being examined to see if they can be used to produce tidal (current) energy.
Like other hydroelectricity (electricity made using water), tidal power produces lots ofpollution and is not a renewable energy source, because tides are caused by events that happen in the solar system and so will not run out.
Tidal power has great potential for future power and electricity generation because of the very large amount of energy contained in these rotational systems.
Tidal power is reliably predictable (unlike wind power and solar power).
In Europe, tide mills have been used for nearly 1,000 years, mainly for grinding grains.
Modern tide mills provide tidal stream power.
Many things affect tides.
The pull of the Moon is the largest effect, and most of the energy comes from the slowing of the Earth's spin.

Courtly love is a special idea of love that people had in Europe in the Middle Ages.
The word "court" means the courts where princes or dukes lived.
Courtly love is usually when a young man, who may be a peasant or even a simple King, falls in love with a rich lady and tries to make himself worthy of her by doing brave things or by singing beautiful love songs.
The idea of courtly love can be found in a lot of literature e.g. in works by Geoffrey Chaucer, Dante, Gottfried von Strassburg, Walther von der Vogelweide,  Wolfram von Eschenbach, Malory and William Shakespeare.
A royal court or noble court is the household of a royal family—including its advisors and attendents.
The building is often called a palace, but the "royal court" means not just the buildings but all the royal household (all the people who live and work there).
Someone who has a rank in a royal court is called a court official or courtier.
A royal court can also include the wives and concubines of the ruler.
A famous example is Hampton Court on the river Thames in London where Henry VIII had his court.
Today the Queen holds court at Buckingham Palace.

A statesman or stateswoman is a respected, skilled and experienced political leader or figure.
In most respects a statesman is the opposite of a politician.
Politicians are thought of as people who will say or do anything to get elected or to gain power.
A statesman is someone who does everything for the common good of the people he or she represents.
To call a person a statesman is a mark of high regard for that person's integrity.
To call someone a politician usually implies the person is worthy of very little esteem.
For example, George Washington is almost always called a statesman.
An elder statesman is a term often defined as an older politician or advisor who is thought to be above normal politics.
Statesman principals
In 51 BC, Cicero published his work De re publica (On the Republic).
The dialog was about what made a true statesman.
It was about the virtues and ideals such a leader must have.
Cicero wrote that a great statesman did not have to descend from aristocrats.
But he must have virtus (virtue), iustitia (a sense of justice) and wisdom.
He must also have dignitas (roughly translated as dignity), temperance and must show generosity and be magnanimous.
A statesman has certain core values and will not change beliefs simply to advance a political career.
If a change in policy is necessary for the good of the people he or she serves, the change will be made no matter how much it is criticized.
According to Hans J. Morgenthau, author of Politics Among Nations, statesmen see things realistically; as they really are.
They look at how a policy will affect a nation.
A statesman is not the same as a monarch or king because their goals are not the same.
A statesman does not want to dominate or control people, he or she wants to educate them so they are fit to live in a democracy.
Like Plato before him, Alexis de Tocqueville believed that a statesman not only educated his or her people, he somehow shaped their character.
When Abraham Lincoln became President of the United States in 1861, most people saw an awkward, rumpled country bumpkin.
He had never traveled to Europe and was seen by the American people and foreign dignitaries alike as crude and unsophisticated.
The Dutch minister reported of Lincoln: “He and his wife seem like .
western farmers, and even in this country, where one has no right to be fastidious, their common manners and their ways expose them in unfortunate fashion to ridicule.”
While many do not remember Lincoln as a great foreign-policy president, he actually was.
Like a true statesman, Lincoln adeptly guided foreign policy at a time of great peril during the Civil War when the United States was vulnerable to foreign intervention.
According to Kevin Peraino, Lincoln "should be considered one of America’s seminal foreign-policy presidents — a worthy model for students of global affairs."
Historians have long shown Lincoln to have been a great statesman who worked tirelessly to build his country into something greater than it was.
He laid the groundwork for America's later rise to become a world power.

The 4 Qualities of a True Statesman
Gueffroy and his friend Christian Gaudian tried to escape from East Berlin to West Berlin on the night of 5 to 6 February 1989.
They tried to cross near the Britz district canal.
Gueffroy and Gaudian thought that the Schießbefehl, the order to shoot anyone who attempted to cross the wall, had been stopped.
Climbing the last metal fence, the two were seen and shot at by the National People's Army (NVA) border troops.
Gueffroy was hit in the chest by ten shots and died in the border strip.
Gaudian was badly injured, and was arrested and was sentenced on 24 May 1989 to imprisonment for three years by the Pankow district court for trying illegally to cross the border ("versuchten ungesetzlichen Grenzübertritts im schweren Fall").
The four border guards at first got an award (Leistungsabzeichen der Grenztruppen) from the chief of the local border guards, Erich Wöllner, and a prize of 150 East German Marks each.
After the reunification of East and West Germany, they were prosecuted by Berlin regional court.
Two of them were released in January 1992.
Ingo Heinrich, who fired the shot that killed Gueffroey was sentenced to three and a half years in jail.
The Bundesgerichtshof reduced the penalty to a suspended sentence of two years in 1994.
In 2000, two SED officials, Siegfried Lorenz and Hans-Joachim Böhme, were tried for the death of Gueffroy and two other young men, but acquitted as the judge could find no evidence that they might have been able to lift the shoot-to-kill order.
The case was retried on 7 August 2004, and the two men were found guilty and given suspended sentences of 15 months each.
The judge explained that the short sentences were due to the length of time since the events.
This was the last case concerning deaths on the inner German border.
On 21 June 2003, which would have been his 35th birthday, a monument to Gueffroy was built on the banks of the Britz district canal.

Electricity generation is the making of electricity for use by people.
Most comes from rotary electrical generators turned by various engines.
Making electricity in one central place became useful when electric power distribution was possible.
This required power transformers which could change voltage.
Electricity could be sent as alternating current along electric power lines for great distances cheaply.
People have been using electric light bulbs, electric motors, and other things that use electricty since the late 19th century.
Different sources of energy have been used to run generators, including coal, nuclear, natural gas, hydroelectric, and petroleum power and a small amount from solar energy, tidal harnesses, wind generators, and geothermal sources.
Electricity demand
The demand for electricity can be met in two different ways.
The main method is to build large centralized projects to generate and transmit the electricity required.
Many of these projects have caused unpleasant environmental effects such as air or radiation pollution and the flooding of large areas of land.
Distributed generation creates power on a smaller scale at locations on the electricity network.
These sites often generate electricity as a byproduct of other industry such as using gas from landfills to power turbines.
Methods of generating electricity
Rotating turbines attached to electrical generators produce most commercially available electricity.
Turbines are driven by a fluid which acts as an intermediate energy carrier.
The fluids typically used are:
steam - Water is boiled by nuclear fission or the burning of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, or petroleum).
Some newer plants use the sun as the heat source: solar parabolic troughs and solar power towers concentrate sunlight to heat a heat transfer fluid, which is then used to produce steam.
water - Turbine blades are acted upon by flowing water, produced by hydroelectric dams or tidal forces,
wind - Most wind turbines generate electricity from naturally occurring wind.
Solar updraft towers use wind that is artificially produced inside the chimney by heating it with sunlight.
hot gases - Turbines are driven directly by gases produced by the combustion of natural gas or oil.
Combined cycle gas turbine plants are driven by both steam and gas.
They generate power by burning natural gas in a gas turbine and use residual heat to generate additional electricity from steam.
These plants offer efficiencies of up to 60%.
Reciprocating engines
Small electricity generators are often powered by reciprocating engines burning diesel fuel, biogas or natural gas.
Diesel generators are often used for backup power, usually at low voltages.
Biogas is often combusted where it is produced, such as a landfill or wastewater treatment plant, with a reciprocating engine or a microturbine, which is a small gas turbine.
Photovoltaic panels
Unlike the solar heat concentrators, photovoltaic panels convert sunlight directly to electricity.
Although sunlight is free, solar panels cost a lot of money to make and have only a 10-20% conversion efficiency.
Until recently, photovoltaics were most commonly used in remote sites where there is no access to a commercial power grid, or as an extra electricity source for individual homes and businesses.
Recent advances in manufacturing efficiency and photovoltaic technology, combined with subsidies driven by environmental concerns, have dramatically accelerated the deployment of solar panels.
Installed solar capacity is growing by 30% per year in several regions including Germany, Japan, California and New Jersey.
