Founded in 1725 AN by the United Principalities of Cibola, Hermannsplatz is a small village and locality which primarily serves as an outpost station for the Weisenburger Kriegstruppen. It is named after Kriegstruppen Hauptmann Hermann Seck, who died during the first military expedition to the city when a Cossack band[1] ambushed his squad.
The village was built on top of the ruins of the city of Hamstadt, the former capital of Zandarijn. Left in a ruinous state after the 1699 sacking of the city and the collapse of Lanzerwald, laborers from the Nationalerarbeitsdienst worked to clear the ruins and construct the so-called "Neuesstadt Hermannsplatz".
Very few historic buildings survived the destruction of the city and the subsequent cleanup operations. The bomb-ravaged ruins of the ZandArena, once upon a time home to the 2013 FMF World Cup Final, was pulled down with its old pitch becoming the new center point of the village's business district, as it made an optimal market square for vendors and traders. The old city hall also remains in a semi-ruinous state, serving as an artillery storage depot.
Although still called Hamstadt by some of the locals who remained through the destruction of the original city, it has become the United Principalities' foremost Modellstadt, or Model Town.
