Hoyerswerda–Wojerecy occupies a lowland setting on the Schwarze Elster in Upper Lusatia, northeastern Saxony. The town stands in a region shaped by Sorbian language and traditions, reflected in its bilingual name and links to Lusatian cultural life. Its compact historic centre contrasts with the Neustadt, a large planned residential district developed in the GDR era for workers connected with the nearby Schwarze Pumpe industrial complex. Former lignite-mining areas around the town have also been transformed into the Lusatian Lake District.
