Initially charted in the original exploration of the Frankfurt system in 82 A.S., the planet Holstein was ignored for centuries by the government as its primary concern was the industrial development of Rheinland. Eventually, with the help of prominent politicians on New Berlin, Kruger Minerals succeeded in obtaining the financial loans from Interspace Commerce in order to terraform Holstein, which started in 519 A.S.

With the outbreak of the Eighty Years war between Rheinland and the GMG in 589 A.S., the terraforming operations were abandoned as Kruger hastily pulled out of the system. The Frankfurt system became a staging point for military supplies moving to the frontlines in Sigma 13 for many years, with little corporate activity, until the war came to an abrupt end in 668 A.S.

After the war, Kruger suffered a stock crash and was forced to make considerable reparations to the Gas Miners Guild, and its operations in Frankfurt never really recovered, with the mining corporation focusing more attention on the Omega 3 and Omega 7 systems. Republican Shipping seized upon the opportunity to construct Mainz Storage Facility in orbit of Stulingen, a moon of Holstein, with Daumann constructing Mannheim and a number of deuterium gas miners in the atmosphere of the gas giant Heidelberg.

With the end of the Nomad War, Kruger Minerals offered to transfer ownership of the planet Holstein to Daumann in exchange for the gas miners on Heidelberg. Daumann readily agreed, and upon gaining the rights to the planet, eagerly restarted the terraforming process.
