Dortmund

Dortmund is a town located south of Koningstad. Though independent, it is considered a part of metropolitan Koningstad and the national capital region.

History
Dortmund was founded on the 3rd of September, 1621. King Adrian I authorized his right-hand man, Philip Henneman to construct a military post, for defense if his nearby summer retreat was ever attacked. Located on the south of the Dortmund River, it was soon surrounded by the homes of soldiers, tradesmen, skilled laborers and their families. In the 20th century more people came to live here as the cost of living in Koningstad increased.
