Neuhofs

Neuhofs is a fictional municipality and village in the central Verdian region. It covers an area of about 12.6 square kilometers and lies at an elevation of roughly 320 meters above sea level, near the Linter River. As of 2023, the resident population is around 1,250. The local economy combines agriculture with small manufacturing and service trades, and many residents commute to larger nearby towns.

The name Neuhofs derives from Germanic roots meaning "new farmsteads," reflecting its origin as a collection of founding homesteads established in earlier centuries. The first written record dates to around 1253, and the community gradually expanded around a central manor farm before the arrival of the regional railway in the late 19th century.

Geographically, Neuhofs sits on level to gently rolling terrain with loess soils suited to dairy farming and crops. The surrounding woodlands and hedgerows support small-scale forestry and biodiversity. The climate is temperate with warm summers and moderate winters.

Governance is carried out by an elected municipal council and a mayor. The town participates in a shared district framework that coordinates schooling, planning, and emergency services with neighboring municipalities.

Key cultural features include the annual harvest festival, village choir concerts, and a small local history museum. Landmarks include St. Georg Church, dating from the 17th century, and a preserved windmill near the town square.

Transportation relies on regional roads and a nearby railway station located about eight kilometers away. A limited bus network connects Neuhofs with neighboring communities. Public services include a primary school, a volunteer fire brigade, and a community center.

Notable people from Neuhofs are few and typically associated with agriculture or crafts; no figure has achieved wide renown beyond the local area.
