Langenberg is a municipality in the district of Gütersloh in the northeast of the German state North Rhine-Westphalia .
geography
Geographical location
The municipality of Langenberg is located in the southern part of the Gütersloh district on the foothills of the Oelder and Stromberg mountains. The closest larger cities in the north are Rheda-Wiedenbrück in 7.5 km and Gütersloh in 18 km, and in the south Lippstadt in 12 km. The city of Paderborn to the east is 36 km away.
The municipality is traversed in a north-easterly direction by Eusternbach and Fortbach , which fall directly or via the Grubebach into the Ems , as well as Landgraben, Brandgraben, Kleybach, Schulgraben, Bergwiesenbach and Kaltestroth, which flow in a northeast to southeast direction and fall into the Glenne . This leaves the area in a south-westerly direction and later flows into the Lippe .
The highest point in the municipality is at 112 m above sea level. NN in the westernmost municipality at 51 ° 47 ′ 7 ″ N , 8 ° 15 ′ 34 ″ E , the lowest at 51 ° 43 ′ 39 ″ N , 8 ° 20 ′ 2 ″ E is the outflow of the Glenne from the municipality in the south at 75 m above sea level NN .
geology
The subsoil of the municipality is made up of river and lake deposits from the end of the Holstein warm period and meltwater sediments with interim sediments of marl from the Saale glacial period . In the low-lying areas of the tributaries of the Lippe and Ems, gravel , sand and silt with built-on bank walls, sand loess , drifting sand and dunes from the Vistula glaciation and the post-ice age are stored . The underlying solid rock subsoil is formed from almost exactly horizontal marl stones, marl, marl limestone and limestone from the Middle Ages . Under this layer is a plinth made of folded Devonian and Carboniferous rocks .
The entire eastern part of the municipality lies in the lowlands of the Ems and Lippe. Gleye formed there from sandy to sandy-loamy river and stream deposits with high groundwater . These are primarily used as grassland. In the east, gleyes are predominant, which are influenced by waterlogging in the topsoil (pseudogley gleye). In the south of the municipality, low groundwater levels have created nutrient-poor heather soils ( podsoles ). Gley podsoles have formed when the groundwater level is higher. These are mainly used for arable farming. In the western part of Langenberg, glacial till is predominant, from which clay-rich soils arose. Because of the low water permeability, waterlogging can occur right down to the topsoil. These soils are often used for forestry, as grassland and, after drainage measures, also as arable land.
Langenberg is moderately to well suited for the use of geothermal heat sources by means of a geothermal probe and heat recovery through heat pump heating (see the adjacent map).

Langenberg borders on five municipalities: in the north on Rheda-Wiedenbrück , in the east on Rietberg (both in the district of Gütersloh), in the south on Lippstadt ( district of Soest ) and in the west on Wadersloh and in the north-west on Oelde (both in the district of Warendorf ).
Community structure
The municipality of Langenberg has been divided into the districts of Benteler and Langenberg since the regional reform in 1970 . This division is only historical and justified in built-up areas, an administrative subdivision is not derived from it. Furthermore, the two farmers Selhorst (zu Langenberg) and Allerbeck (zu Benteler) belong to the community.
In recent years, Selhorst has significantly increased its settlement area through new development areas and can now be described more as a separate town.
The population of the municipality is given as of January 1, 2006 for the district Langenberg with 6,262 and for Benteler with 2,249. The resulting total number of inhabitants differs from the information provided by the State Statistical Office (see population development ).
climate
Langenberg belongs to the moderate climatic zone of Central Europe. It is in the range of the sub-Atlantic maritime climate. The winters are mostly mild under the influence of the Atlantic and the summers are moderately warm.
Due to the location in the sub-Atlantic maritime climate, a humid climate prevails all year round with relatively evenly distributed rainfall. Since precipitation data are not available for Langenberg, values are given for the Rietberg station about 10 km away. The long-term average precipitation there is 772 mm per year. This means that more precipitation falls than the German average (700 mm).
Temperature values are also not available for Langenberg. At a weather station in neighboring Rheda-Wiedenbrück , an average temperature of 11.1 ° C was measured between 2002 and 2006.

history
Langenberg is mentioned for the first time in 1180 in historical documents in which the small settlement was assigned to the Prince Diocese of Osnabrück . Since that time Langenberg has been administered by the Drosten and officials from Wiedenbrück ( Reckenberg Office ). This assignment persisted even after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, although Prussia created counties as new administrative units in its new Westphalian regions. The assignment was only dissolved in 1970.
Benteler was first mentioned in a document as early as 1130 and thus probably the older part of the community. Until 1970 it belonged to the Wadersloh office , which was created in 1816 by the Prussian administrative division.
The community was largely agricultural until well into the middle of the 19th century. Although the road from Wiedenbrück to Lippstadt had already been completed in 1828, the first industrial settlement did not take place until 1845 with the establishment of a brewery (today's Hohenfelde private brewery).
religion
Historically, the majority of citizens are of the Roman Catholic faith, while a smaller number are of the Protestant faith. Believers from other religions can be assumed. There are two Catholic and one Protestant congregations in the Langenberg area.
Since only the political boundaries were redrawn during the parish reorganization, the Catholic parish in Langenberg in the Reckenberg Pastoral Association is assigned to the Archdiocese of Paderborn and the Catholic parish in Benteler in the Beckum dean's office is assigned to the Diocese of Münster .
Exact data are not available for the community, as religious affiliation is one of the personal data worth protecting and as a result is not published, not even in aggregated form.
In Langenberg there are numerous church associations and other offers for young people organized by the community. The Catholic Young Community Langenberg (KJG) for children and young people was founded in 1974 in the parish of St. Lambertus and St. Laurentius Langenberg and today has around 130 members.
Incorporations
As part of the North Rhine-Westphalian territorial reform in the course of the implementation of the "Law for the reorganization of the Wiedenbrück district and parts of the Bielefeld district" of December 4, 1969, the previously independent communities Benteler ( Liesborn-Wadersloh , Beckum district ) and Langenberg ( Office Reckenberg , Kreis Wiedenbrück ) merged on 1 January 1970 on the new church Langenberg. Individual parcels from the communities of Batenhorst (Reckenberg Office), Bokel and Mastholte (both Rietberg Office ) were incorporated into the new municipality .

Culture and sights
theatre
The Langenberger Laienspielschar has brought a play to the stage almost every year since it was founded in 1968 (there were no performances in 1977 and 1978). Between 1989 and 1999, the pieces were also performed six times per winter season in Bad Westernkotten . While the performances in Langenberg were performed on the stage of the Drei-Kaiser-Saal in a restaurant for years, the Brinkmann School auditorium has been in use since 2003 - as it did until 1970.
museum
The Benteler Heimatstube has existed since 1967 . It was initially located in a teaching material room in the school building in Benteler, and since 1984 the Benteler Heimatverein, which is responsible for the Heimatstube, has leased rooms on Stukendamm. Handicraft tools from cobblers , wheelwright and clog makers , agricultural tools for flax processing and harvesting, household tools (dairy farming, laundry and textiles), as well as the inventory of a classroom are shown. Special exhibitions by local artists in the fields of painting and carving are organized at irregular intervals. The Heimatstube can be visited by prior arrangement.
Buildings
The Langenberg station was built in the 1887th Passenger traffic was stopped in 1979, and freight traffic on the line in 1995. The structure has remained unchanged since then and the track systems are still largely in place (as of March 2007).
The Geissel estate was first mentioned in a document in 1231. The estate is a listed building and is located in one of the largest forest areas in the Gütersloh district. The half-timbered houses and the surrounding gardens date from the 18th century.
The Cafe "Zur Linde" is a more than 400 years old inn on Kirchplatz in Langenberg. The half-timbered building is marked above the entrance 1649. But as early as 1567 it can be found in the parish's account books, as rent for a guest room was paid on church property. The house housed a brewery, distillery and bakery. In 1997 the café was reopened in the renovated building.
The Catholic parish church of St. Lambertus and St. Laurentius Langenberg was first mentioned in a document in 1234. The west tower was built around 1200 in the Romanesque style. The church itself is late Gothic. Today's central nave and tower spire are from the 15th to 16th centuries. From 1892 to 1894, neo-Gothic aisles were added. Inside the church there is a Romanesque font from the 13th century. The crucifixion group, the Radiant Madonna and the tabernacle were brought into the church in 1515–1523.
The church of St. Antonius Benteler was built from 1856-1859 as a hall church with a tower in the west made of bricks. In 1912–1914 the transept, south-east tower, choir and sacristy were added. The pulpit, the high altar and the side altars come from the Wiedenbrück school . The clockwork of the old tower clock can be seen in front of the church.
In the Evangelical Peace Church there is a bell from 1860. It is attributed to the foundryman Heinrich Ludwig Lohmeier and is now a listed building.
Other buildings worth seeing are the old Lippentrupper school and the former bailiwick.
