Weißwasser, Industrial town in Görlitz district, Germany

Weißwasser stretches across 63 square kilometers of eastern Saxony, maintaining a population of 19,055 residents at an elevation of 140 meters above sea level.

The settlement received its official town status in 1935 and developed into a manufacturing center for glass products during the 19th and 20th centuries.

The municipality preserves its Sorbian heritage through bilingual street signs in German and Upper Sorbian, reflecting the traditional language diversity of Upper Lusatia.

The town center contains several accommodation options and maintains direct transport connections to major cities like Berlin and Dresden via regular bus services.

The local ice hockey team, Lausitzer Füchse, continues the legacy of the former Dynamo Weißwasser club that earned multiple championships in East Germany.
