Bhering, officially Municipality of Bhering (Portuguese: Município de Bhering) is one of the ten municipalities of Ebenthal. It is the second smallest and the third least populated administrative division of Ebenthal, with just 0.1 km² (0.03 sq mi) and a population of 4 inhabitants, same as Lüttenhausen. Located in the mid-south region of the country, Bhering is an enclave in the Brazilian municipality of Londrina, which surrounds it entirelly. The municipality elects one member for the House of Councillors. Its administration falls to a assembly-independent executive-led devolved government led by a Chief Executive appointed by the King of Ebenthal.

Originally part of the vast, fertile lands that characterized the northern region of the Brazilian state of Paraná, modern-day Bhering has been inhabited by indigenous peoples for centuries. Between the 15th and 17th centuries, the territory was claimed and disputed by the Portuguese and Spanish empires, and was incorporated into the colonial state of Brazil. The region remained largely untouched—with the exception of small settlements throughout the 19th century—until the early 20th century, when landowners cleared the forest and established large coffee plantations in the region, then part of the Brazilian municipality of Jataizinho. The region that encompassed Bhering became independent as the municipality of Londrina in 1934, eventually becoming the main urban center of northern Paraná. In 2003, Marcia van der Bruyn, the younger daughter of Maria Isabel, from the Portuguese baronial House of Bruyn, relocated from the sourthern spa-town of Canela to Londrina for work. Recognizing the potential of the secluded area within Londrina, Márcia purchased a sizable portion of land, transforming it into the Bhering estate. Over the following years, Bhering grew as a private enclave. In 2024, following the example of her elder sister Monica’s actions in Canela, Márcia formalized the estate's autonomy through a sovereignty cession agreement with her cousin, King Arthur II of Ebenthal, establishing the municipality of Bhering as one of Ebenthal's administrative divisions.

The economy of Bhering is not diversified, depending entirely on the service sector. The municipality consists of a house with a large green area. Short of residential infrastructure, the fields of Bhering have solar-powered public lighting.
