    Consider a finite-dimensional algebra with involution over a commutative local ring. The chain geometry over this algebra is a Klingenberg chain space. It is shown how this structure can be embedded into a projective Klingenberg space, such that the points are identified with points of a quadric and the chains with plane sections.
