Flag of Johanbourg

**Johanburg** (also known as *Johanbourg*) is the capital city of Ostenbourg and the biggest city of the empire. It was founded by Kidcalvin74, who also built most of the city. It is named after the Johanburg Castle, which itself is named after Archduke John of Austria (German: *Johann*).

## History

### Discovery and settlement

On the 16th of August 2021, Kidcalvin74 arrived on the server and traveled east, in quest of a territory to build residence and town. He settled in front of a mountain which provided a great natural barrier against all forms of danger. This place is not visible anymore today due to the terraforming and building that took place later in the area, but it is believed to have been under the current nether portal and the furnace of Johanburg.

Soon after Kidcalvin74 started mining the stones that he would use to build his castle on the mountain.

### Joining of Ostenbourg

Johanburg was integrated into Ostenbourg after Kidcalvin74 accepted Emperor Yhorm's offer to join his faction. Bbeing the only place in the empire with enough infrastructure to fulfill the role, Johanburg became the capital of Ostenbourg. The throneroom and the residence of the Emperor were built in the Castle.

### Expansion

Since then, Johanburg has kept expanding: a gunpowder farm and a wool farm were built by Mamafpadi and Kidcalvin74. The Villager Hall, the storage and the Gate are examples of major buildings.

After Mamafpadi decided to leave Ostenbourg, he took with him the cats of the gunpowder farm and elements of the villager hall. This caused tensions between the governing bodies of the empire and Boarenbourg, Ostenbourg stating that Mamafpadi's actions were illegal. This tension never escalated further and Kidcalvin74 took this opportunity to make the efforts of reparing the damages and expanding even more. At this moment Kidcalvin74 built the National Library and replaced the unfinished church with a new building.
