Hennigi

Hennigi is a fictional municipality created for encyclopedic and worldbuilding purposes. It is described as a mid-sized town in the highlands of Veridia, a landlocked, fictional country. The town lies in a shallow valley at elevations between 350 and 750 meters and has a temperate climate with distinct seasons.

Hennigi traces its origins to a late medieval guild of weavers and traders in the early 13th century. The name is commonly believed to derive from a local founder named Hennig. It developed as a market center for textiles, produce, and crafts, and it gained a degree of autonomy as a free town within a regional confederation before joining a formal union in the 19th century.

As of the latest fictional census, Hennigi is home to about 9,500 residents. The population is predominantly Veridian, with small communities of artisans and merchants. The town is governed by a municipal council and an elected mayor serving four-year terms, with local affairs centered on planning, public services, and cultural events.

The economy centers on textiles, craft workshops, and agriculture, supported by a small manufacturing sector. The Market Square hosts weekly fairs, while the surrounding streets feature timber-framed houses and a Gothic parish church dating to the 15th century. Cultural life revolves around the Harvest Festival, the Summer Market, and local crafts.

Transportation includes a regional railway line and an extensive bus network linking Hennigi with neighboring towns. Notable fictional residents include Mara Hennigi, a botanist, and Joren Hennigi, a poet, who appear in worldbuilding narratives about the town.
