Lebenswelt
Lebenswelt was an Earth colony with vast wealth, due to various deals made with Galactinationals. The Museum of Locks was located on Lebenswelt, specifically in its largest city (also known as Lebenswelt).
Despite the extreme wealth, the streets of Lebenswelt were filled with grime and decay due to the apathy of the people towards cleaning their planet (who largely only existed to party). Spires, turrets, and belfries were common architectural features on Lebenswelt.
Though objects of extreme opulence (such as jewelry) were tossed out by the people of Lebenswelt on a daily basis, taking those jewels from the pools of filth on the street was considered a crime worthy of the death penalty by the Lebensweltian government. The use of fast-acting memory chains without a licence was also a crime, though it was punishable by jailtime. By the 41st century, the prisons on Lebenswelt were extremely overcrowded - with groups offering to bail out prisoners after an exchange of "funds" (these funds being harvested organs).
Native to Lebenswelt was a species of red, bat-like creatures that fought with each other in the skies of Lebenswelt.[source needed]
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
According to the Doctor, five hundred years before he and his companions arrived on Lebenswelt (presumably in the 36th century), the mineral wealth of the planet was sold to a Galactinational. This led to the planet becoming one of the most opulent human colonies by the 41st century. By this time, the people of Lebenswelt became completely unaware of the planet Earth.
Presumably due to time travel becoming easier and largely unregulated after the destruction of the Time Lords (PROSE: The Ancestor Cell), time travel became extremely common on Lebenswelt, especially after the Book of the Still was placed into the Museum of Locks. This led to non-linear anthropologists such as Albrecht and Rhian Salmond visiting the planet to study its culture of "Seekers" and "Finders". (PROSE: The Book of the Still)
