Nethegau

The Nethegau (also called the Netgau in many sources) is a region in central Germany named after the river Nethe and covers, in the main, the Brakel Upland between the River Weser and the Egge ridge around the towns of Brakel and Bad Driburg in the district of Höxter in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The region was formerly a Saxon Gau and was administered by Gau counts following the Carolingian conquest of Saxony. Parts of the area also transferred into the ownership of Corvey Abbey over the course of time.

gollark: I'm waiting for Steam to go through its ridiculous updating so I can "simulate" it in Universe Sandbox.

gollark: The less bad way would probably be to just install really bright lights of some sort on it, powered by fusion or something, but it wouldn't illuminate much of Mars.

gollark: Ah yes, the highly advanced space simulation engine, I should try it in that.
