Wolfen, Germany

Wolfen, Germany

Wolfen is a town in the district Anhalt-Bitterfeld, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Since 1 July 2007, it is part of the town Bitterfeld-Wolfen. It is situated approximately 6 km northwest of Bitterfeld, and 20km south of Dessau.

During GDR years, Wolfen became home to most people working at the Bitterfeld industrial plants. Since the German reunification, the whole area has suffered from disinvestment, deindustrialization, and depopulation; unemployment became a serious problem. Population decreased by approximately 50% because of these problems.
