==Undeground tunnels== | |||
''Tunnels and systems under Stalburg has longer history than the city itself. They originates from medieval times when Stalburg was just a small mining settlement near the current ruins of Stalburg castle which was built to protect the mining settlement. Since then the mining has moved more inland to richer and larger ore deposits. As time passed by the original mines have been filled with rubble and replaced during the industrial ages with the infrastructure of rapidly growing city. Currently very small to nonexistant sections of the original mines have survived.'' | |||
''During the first half 20th century Bergmann Group started massive tunneling project what size of Stalburg has never seen ever before. The project was to build massive tunnel system feeding fresh water for the city which was suffering lack of potable water due pollution. Less than decade later the tunnel was completed and it instantly became the lifeline of the booming city.'' | |||
''In the 1970's second tunnel was concidered and later approved, but the project ended in the bankruptcy of the Bergmann Group. Only small amount of tunneling work was completed. | |||
Now the first and the only (and crumbling) watertunnel brings majority of the fresh water consumed in the city, only some suburban neighbourhoods water is supplied from other sources.'' | |||
''The metro system originates times before the watertunnel was build.'' | |||
''The current metro system has four lines and more than 50 stations.'' | |||
''The extensive underground (excluding metro) is unknown for vast majority of Stalburgers, only small portion of the population are familiar what lays below their feet. Parts of forgotten unserviced tunnels are taken over by people hiding from authorities, homeless people and some who are using them for their own purposes.'' | |||

''Stalburg City's water supply system tunnel no. 1, commonly known as the Bergmann water tunnel is named after its builder the Bergmann Corporation. It is the lifeline for Stalburg city, bringing a vast majority of the fresh water consumed in Stalburg. According to the last maintenance reports of the tunnel, the tunnel is in a very bad shape. It has been speculated that the tunnel is in an imminent danger of collapsing, which would leave most of the city without potable water. It's not a question of if the tunnel is collapsing but rather when it is going to happen. While being vital for the city and unknown for the majority of the populace, the tunnel has gained a legendary status among some urban cultures spawning urban legends around it.'' | ''Stalburg City's water supply system tunnel no. 1, commonly known as the Bergmann water tunnel is named after its builder the Bergmann Corporation.
