Lovis Bruk (also spelled Lovis bruk without capitalised b) is an urban conglomeration in the heartland of the state of Sörmark in Vittmark. The urban landscape has been built up around the iron works that were built here between the 7530's and 7560's. The city's name Lovis Bruk refers to the oldest iron worksm which were named after Exemplar Lovis of Friställen, a local nobleman that has been the patron of industrialisation in the region before it became part of Vittmark. Due to its central location in the state and its status as a railway junction, the area urbanised more and more, but without any focus on a city center or similar. In the 7680's the city became the capital of Sörmark state, partially to compensate for the loss of work in many of the now defunct iron works and accompanying production facilities. Still, even today unemployment rates are among the highest in Vittmark, since many of the iron workers have not adapted to the line of work in the service industry yet.
