Zwochau is a village and a former municipality in the district (Landkreis) of North Saxony, in the administrative region (Direktionsbezirk) of Leipzig, in Saxony. Since 1 January 2013, it is part of the municipality Wiedemar.
== Location == The village lies approximately 30 km east of Halle (Saale), ca. 20 km northwest of Leipzig, and 10 km southwest of Delitzsch. The national autobahn no. 9 runs west of the corporate boundary and can be accessed via the Wiedemar entrance ramp (ca. 4 km). The community is marked with the vestiges of the defunct middle German Brown coal industry. Lakes are currently forming in the vast open pits of the former mines (the Werbeliner See, Grabschützer See, and Zwochauer See) as a part of the new "Saxon Sealand." The Leipzig/Halle Airport is immediately south of Zwochau in the Schkeuditz district.
