Zitadelle (Luthorian: Citadel) is a minor city located on a partial island/peninsula off the southern coast of the Dorvish province of Largonia. Zitadelle is home to Weißenburg or "White Castle" which is home to the von Salzer-Neuhäusser family who are the Grand Dukes of Largonia. Zitadelle is notable as it was constructed as a fortress to defend against Alorian aggression during the early 14th century and eventually evolved into a ducal estate for the von Salzer-Neuhäusser family.
Zitadelle has lost most of its defensive structures, the walls of the Weißenburg were torn down and replaced with fields and gardens in the late 19th century as a means of de-escalating conflict with neighboring Reich states. A vast majority of Zitadelle was destroyed during the Collapse of the Dundorfian Reich period of history where it served as launching point for naval invasions into Aloria.
History[]
Government and politics[]
Zitadelle has an elected Mayor and a city council system. It has long been a conservative bastion and has elected parties from the Social Nationalist Party, the Free Conservative Party and other right-wing movements such as the Southern Conservatives. It has traditionally elected "traditional" conservatives versus far-right or even radical right-wing movements.
Economics[]
Economically Zitadelle relies on tourism as its primary source of income due to the gardens and lands of the von Salzer-Neuhäusser family and the former Dorvish fortifications. Zitadelle also is seen as an idyllic tourist destination and over time a number of small, family run bed and breakfasts have been established.
Demographics and culture[]
Zitadelle has consistently had a small, permanent population numbering around 75,000. It was considered a growing city as of the last census taken in 4030 in which it posted a total residency of 135,000 but the numbers were later believed to include a number of transient residents that have vacation and summer homes in the region.
Geography and climate[]
Zitadelle is considered a peninsula due to its connection with the mainland but at times with storms at sea or high tide, it becomes and island. Zitadelle is considered to be a much warmer climate then the rest of Largonia and Dorvik as a whole due to it being almost as far south as the Alorian coast.
