Kaumberg was settled for its vast mountain ranges and forest lands. Though mining would seem to be a logical industry for the world, most of Kaumberg's economy is based on the timber trade. The original settlers arrived in the [[twenty-fourth century]] and were a mix of Germans and Austrians. These colonists were impressed by the terrain that reminded them of the Alps and other mountain ranges that were near their traditional homesteads.<ref name=HB:HSp74-75/>

Over time Kaumberg's families set up a semi-democratic process that elected one of the families to power. Since the initial colonization, most political power has been concentrated in the hands of two families: [[House Hasseldorf]] and [[House LeSat]]. During the [[FedCom Civil War]] the tensions between these two families boiled over into armed conflict and the resulting battles razed much of the planet and decimated the planetary defense forces as well as both houses. Even after spending several years in recovery, the lumber exports had only reached 75% of their pre–Civil War levels.<ref name=HB:HSp74-75/>

During the [[Jihad]], the [[Democracy Now]] movement attempted to achieve the formation of a democratic state based around worlds in the Alarion Province of the [[Lyran Alliance]]. In March [[3071]], Democracy Now protestors stormed the palace of the planetary duke of the nearby world of [[Enzesfled]], prompting the Enzesfled government to issue urgent pleas for assistance. The Kaumberg Planetary Guard mobilized in response; this mobilization caused militant Democracy Now movements on the worlds of [[Batajnica]] and [[Calafell]] to become increasingly confrontational, and when elements of the Kaumberg Planetary Guard landed on Enzesfled on the 25th of May full-fledged rioting broke out on both Batajnica and Calafell in protest.<ref name="JHS3076p16">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 16: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref>
