history

The place goes back to the important Cistercian monastery Langheim , which was founded in 1132/33 and closed in 1803. The remaining large buildings are still reminiscent of the monastery that existed here for 670 years.

Klosterlangheim lies in a valley spider through which the Leuchsenbach flows. To protect against flooding, the monks had both restraints built outside the village and a system of tunnels that led the water underground through the monastery complex. Fish ponds were created on the southern upper reaches of the Leuchsenbach and its tributaries.

The extensive monastic building complex with a large church was partially destroyed by fire in 1802. After the secularization of 1803, the buildings that were no longer needed were sold for demolition and demolished during the first half of the 19th century.

The secular Katharinenkapelle (13th century), the Sepultur chapel (1625), parts of the baroque convent building , a small remnant of the baroque abbey, the economic courtyard (18th century) and other farm buildings have been preserved from the former monastery complex . In 1875 Langheim had 284 residents and 77 buildings. The responsible Catholic parish and school were located in Mistelfeld, 2.0 kilometers away .

Parish (monastery) Langheim

Due to the second Bavarian community edict of May 1818, Langheim and Roth were united to form the rural community of Roth. The desert Bohnberg and Ziegengraben also belonged to the community . On April 1, 1951, parts of the Roth community with the village of Langheim formed the community of Langheim, which was renamed Klosterlangheim in 1957 and was incorporated into the town of Lichtenfels on July 1, 1974.
