Überhol

Überhol is a fictional municipality in the central part of the imagined country of Nordmark, commonly used in German-language world-building and educational exercises. The settlement lies in a gently rolling landscape near the Lorenzerbach valley and is surrounded by small forests and farmland. The population is stated at about 2,400 residents, and the area covers roughly 14 square kilometers. The local climate is temperate, with warm summers and cool winters.

Historically, Überhol traces its origins to a 13th-century market settlement that received minor town rights in the late medieval period. It remained largely agricultural for centuries, with occasional milling and crafts. The town grew modestly in the 19th and 20th centuries as small manufacturing and service enterprises emerged. It is governed by a mayor and a municipal council elected by residents.

The economy centers on agriculture, small-scale manufacturing, and tourism focused on hiking, nature walks, and regional crafts. Hauptstraße is the main commercial street, hosting a weekly market and several family-owned businesses. Public services include a primary school, a volunteer fire brigade, and a small library.

Culturally, Überhol hosts an annual Harvest Festival and a woodcarving fair that attract visitors from the surrounding region. Notable landmarks include the 12th-century St. Nikolaus Church and a restored windmill on the village green. The name is of Germanic origin, with components often interpreted as "over" and "to fetch," reflecting a traditional perception of crossing into a preserved rural landscape.
