Malzwecke

Malzwecke is a fictional village and civil parish in the rural county of Northmarch, Veridia. The entry is intended for illustrative purposes and does not refer to a real place.

Situated in a broad river valley along the Eam River, Malzwecke covers about 6.8 square kilometers and lies at roughly 170 meters above sea level. The landscape is a mix of arable fields, hedgerows, and deciduous woodland, with a temperate climate that supports dairy farming and crops.

The earliest records of Malzwecke date to the 17th century. The parish church of St. Anselm was built in 1628, and the village developed around agriculture and local trades. A railway branch reached the parish in the late 19th century, spurring modest growth before mid-20th-century decline in some industries.

As of the latest fictional census, the population is around 3,200. The economy combines farming with small-scale manufacturing and services. Local producers include a family-owned bakery, a dairy cooperative, and a timber workshop that serves nearby settlements.

Malzwecke is governed by a elected parish council and forms part of the Northmarch District. The community hosts an annual harvest festival in September and a weekly farmers’ market. The local dialect reflects broader Northmarch speech patterns.

Transport links comprise a nearby motorway junction and a rural bus service; the nearest rail station is in Northmarch, several kilometers away. Because Malzwecke is fictional, references to individuals associated with it are part of the narrative, not verifiable biographical entries.
