A retrospective investigation covering about twenty years of wide-band and intermediate-band photometry at Jena University observing station allows an analysis of variations of atmospheric extinction at different time scales. A comparison with an earlier investigation by Wempe (1947) permits to draw conclusions about the evolution of air pollution by aerosols over nearly half a century. Complementary weather observations obtained at the meteorological observing station of the Jena University allow to find correlations between the variation of extinction parameters and the changing weather situations. Parallel Mie calculations allow to interpret the variations of the measured extinction data in terms of size variations of water-rich aerosols.
