History and Geography of von Hohenheim
von Hohenheim is a relatively new barony, located on Gregor-B, 49 light-years from New Berlin. Following the annexation of the Gregor Republic by the Andermani Empire in the late 1860s PD[2], a number of strategic Andermani military, industrial, and commercial nodes were established. What would become the nucleus of the now extensive von Hohenheim holdings can trace their separate histories back to all three of these sectors of Andermani acculturation.
With members of the extended Westover family still located on Potsdam, this more adventurous branch of the family seized the opportunity to move to a new planet, establish multiple critical industrial and commercial operations, and leverage the financial gains associated with their proximity to the Gregor Terminus. What started as a series of relatively modest service industry concerns has since grown to be among the wealthiest holdings of any Andermani peerage.
The Barony of von Hohenheim is home to these and other notable institutions, businesses, and attractions:
Schloss Hohenheim
Seat of Freiherr von Hohenheim, Schloss Hohenheim is a manor estate in the southern hemisphere of Gregor-B and is eponymous of the Hohenheim city district as well as the surrounding barony[3]. Built in the Old Earth Rococo style, the manor with its lush gardens and residential palace, is simultaneously the administrative center of the barony and the headquarters of the extensive Westover corporate holdings. Much of the administrative part of the building complex is underground, so as not to disturb the classic and tranquil beauty of the original structure.
