Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Industrial municipality in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

Bitterfeld-Wolfen spans across a region marked by lakes, including Muldestausee on the east and Goitzsche on the south, with numerous docks for water activities.

The merger of Bitterfeld, first documented in 1224, and Wolfen, recorded around 1400, created the current municipality on July 1, 2007, incorporating Greppin, Holzweißig, and Thalheim.

The municipality maintains international connections through partnerships with Vierzon in France since 1959 and Witten in Germany since 1994.

Located 25 kilometers northeast of Halle and 35 kilometers north of Leipzig, Bitterfeld-Wolfen serves 37,894 residents with industrial and administrative facilities.

The transformation from a lignite mining center, discovered in 1846, to a modern industrial zone exemplifies the evolution of German manufacturing regions.
