History

Langenbach was first mentioned in 818. It belonged to the Landgericht (regional magistracy) of Kranzberg, in the Rentamt (financial administrative district) of Munich. Until its 1803 secularization, the bishopric of Freising was the Langenbach district's most important landowner. Langenbach became an independent municipality in the course of the 1818 Bavarian administrative reforms. The community of Oberhummel was incorporated into Langenbach in 1972.
