As early as 817, the Almenhof was a settlement in what is now the city of Burglengenfeld. The oldest row grave finds from the early 7th century point to the continuity of settlements on the site up to around AD 600 (broad ax [cutting swords] from around 600).
In 2018, while playing, a three-year-old boy found an approximately 1000-year-old coin from Byzantium , which either a former besiegers of Lengenfeld Castle lost or the guests of the lords of the castle brought with them from afar. The obverse of the coin shows a bust of Christ with a beard and a coronation robe. The reverse bears a cross with the inscription "IS-XS" and "bAS-ILe / bAS-ILe" (Christ, King of Kings).

The toponym with the secondary umlaut a to e (from Langinvelt) and the basic word field speaks for a comparatively old age of the place. The castle , which gave the today's city its name, was built around 900 as a protection against the invading Hungarians . After the Landshut War of Succession , Burglengenfeld was added to the newly created Wittelsbach Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg .
In 1542 Burglengenfeld received city rights and a coat of arms. Old historical forms of name are: 1123 Lengenfelt (copy from the 15th century), approx. 1133 Lenginuelt, 1205 castrum (castle) Lengenvelt, 1356 Purcklengefelt, 1484 Burcklengfeld, 1546 Burcklengenfelldt and 1702 Burglengenfeld. 1621 came the Graecized to name Pyrgomacropedium. The old high German ze demo langin velde , d. H. at the long field.
In 1777, the Pfalz-Neuburg line inherited the Bavarian line of the Wittelsbach family , and Burglengenfeld was then owned by the Bavarian duke . In 1803 during the administrative reorganization of Bavaria , the district court Burglengenfeld built. Its administrative tasks were handed over to the Burglengenfeld District Office , the later district , from 1862 onwards .

- The Sebastiankirche , built in 1714 in the suburbs on the Naabbrücke, owes its construction to a vow made during the plague . When the railway reached Burglengenfeld in 1898, the building was moved 60 meters and inaugurated at the new location in 1902.

coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : "Under a black shield head, in it a peeping, red crowned golden lion head, the Bavarian diamonds, which are placed next to each other a red roofed silver tower and a green linden tree on a green three-mountain." |
The castle tower is a talking element for the place name. The green Dreiberg symbolizes the location of the city between three hills, Burgberg, Kreuzberg and Brunnberg. The diamond shield and the lion's head refer to the local authority of Wittelsbach. The first market seal (after 1426) only shows the castle tower and tree on Dreiberg; these figures are placed in the second seal (late 15th century) on the diamond shield, behind which St. George stands as a dragon slayer. As the patron saint of the church, Saint George was also the seal image of the pastor Hans Weiß, who sealed the market until 1425. On the occasion of the city elevation in 1542, the previous coat of arms was confirmed and increased by adding the shield head with the Palatinate-Bavarian lion. The newer official seals only show the coat of arms without St. George as a shield holder.
