{{coord|51|37|N|12|19|E|region:DE_type:city|display=title}}Bitterfeld ({{IPA-de|ˈbɪtɐfɛlt}}) is a town in the district Anhalt-Bitterfeld, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Since 1 July 2007 it has been part of the town Bitterfeld-Wolfen. It is situated approximately 25 km south of Dessau, and 30 km northeast of Halle (Saale). At the end of 2016, it had 40,964 inhabitants.[1]History and descriptionBitterfeld was built by a colony of Flemish immigrants in 1153. It was captured by the landgrave of Meissen in 1476, and belonged thenceforth to Saxony, until it was ceded to Prussia in 1815.[2] By 1900, Bitterfeld station was an important junction of the Berlin–Halle and the Magdeburg–Leipzig railways. The population at that time was 11,839; it manufactured drain-pipes, paper-roofing, and machinery, and had saw mills. There were also several coal mines in the vicinity. Owing to its pleasant situation and accessibility, it had become a favoured residence of business men of Leipzig and Halle.[2] During the East Germany (GDR) years, it gained notoriety for its chemical industry complex which caused remarkably severe pollution, even by GDR standards. On 24 April 1959 it also was a scene for the Bitterfeld Conference, locally known as the "Bitterfelder Weg". This conference sought to connect the working class with the artists of the day to form a socialist national culture.[3] In the 21st century Bitterfeld is still an industrial town and it stages the annual United Metal Maniacs metal festival.[4] The former brown-coal open cast mine of Goitzsche, south-east of Bitterfeld, is a source of numerous fossils in Bitterfeld amber. {{clear}}Historical population1840 to 1939Year | Population | 1840 | {{0}}4,649 | 1870 | {{0}}5,693 | 1880 | {{0}}6,531 | 1890 | {{0}}9,047 | 1925 | 18,384 | 1933 | 21,328 | 1939 | 23,949 | 1946 to 1995Year | Population | 1946 | 32,833[5] | 1950 | 32,814[6] | 1960 | 31,687 | 1981 | 22,199 | 1984 | 21,279 | 1990 | 18,099[7] | 1995 | 16,868 | 2000 to 2006[8]Year | Population | 2000 | 16,507 | 2001 | 16,237 | 2002 | 15,985 | 2003 | 15.798 | 2004 | 15,755 | 2005 | 15,728 | 2006 | 15,709[9] | (from 1840 to 2006):[8]{{clear}}Sons and daughters of the town- Johann Ernst Altenburg (1736-1801), trumpeter and organist
