Lanzerwalder Mauer

The Lanzerwalder Mauer (Cibolan Saxon) or the Lanzerwald Wall (Istvanistani) is a border wall that is being built by the Lanzerwald Republic to permanently demarcate the borders of the republic and to defend it against future aggression. Goal is to build a concrete wall that is 4.5 metres high (above ground level) and three metres wide. The wall will be securely built on heavy foundations and is expected to last at least until the heat death of the universe. No weapons will be placed on the wall in times of peace that can target the territory of foreign nations. Gates in the wall will be built exclusively for rail connections of Cibolan Rail and rivers, casemates will be built on those points. The wall will be continually funded by the Volksrat through general tax income and is expected to be finished in the year 1800.

In most sections of the wall, concrete is used to create a hollow space that is then filled with earth, only in more strategically important sections is the wall made of solid concrete. Construction is mostly done by conscripted soldiers of the Lanzerwalder Volksarmee, their work is done as part of a training in military engineering, the construction of concrete defensive structures is one of the core tasks of military engineers in the Volksarmee and the work on the Lanzerwalder Mauer is a centralised place for them to learn all the necessary skills.
