Zwenkau knows the same incredible developments as Markkleeberg, but with a good ten years of delay, given its greater distance from Leipzig and the later appearance of its great lake. A town of miners in the GDR, devastated and neglected in the 1990 s, she had to believe in her good star at the turn of the 2000 s, when the government decided to make its immense open pit crater open to the largest lake of the leipzigois plateau. Eight years of flooding, so that in 2015 the lake of Zwenkau finds its final level. Zwenkau-les-mines has meanwhile become… Zwenkau-beach! Its centre is now bordered by the lake and the largest marina in the leipzigoise region saw the day on the northern edge of the centre, on what became «Kap Zwenkau», even before the level of water has climbed, which has produced for a few years a completely surreal spectacle! The land sold there at the golden price, the state of the art villas were built there… Zwenkau now has the goal of becoming the largest water centre in the entire region, in the heart of an eco-system, when all the lakes have been networked. Moreover, Zwenkau has kept the soul of a small Saxon town and has some pretty sites and buildings, all of which are in the small centre: its churches, its Markt, the Sattelhof, large-half-timbered building…
