Langau was a municipality in the former Oberviechtach district , which opened up on July 1, 1972 in the Schwandorf district. It was incorporated into the town of Oberviechtach on July 1, 1976 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria .
Langau is also the geographical name for the four-kilometer-long meadow valley of the upper Murach ( Lange Au ), the core of the former municipality.
geography
The municipality of Langau had an area of 1,300.21 hectares and roughly corresponds to the area of Mitterlangau in the northernmost part of the city of Oberviechtach. There is or was no place called Langau. The name for the community was obvious due to the affiliation of the districts Oberlangau , Mitterlangau and Unterlangau , which together form the Lange Au .
The Langau (= Lange Au) is a narrow, light, north-south-facing meadow valley between the dense forests of the 750 m high Stangenberg in the west and the 808.6 m high Stückberg -Greiner massif in the east. On the slopes of the Stückberg-Greiner massif, the Murach rises from numerous springs and flows west down through Oberlangau, where it turns south and continues through Mitterlangau. Then it flows in a gentle curve to the east past Unterlangau, which is slightly offset to the west, past Pirkhof .
Furthermore, Pirk , Gütting , Brandhäuser and the Tannermühle belonged to the municipality of Langau. The seven districts of the former municipality of Langau and today's district Mitterlangau had a total of 248 inhabitants on January 16, 2013.
The places of the former parish belong in church terms to the Roman Catholic parish of St. Vitus in Pullenried .
history
In the course of the municipal edict in 1818, the municipalities of Oberlangau and Mitterlangau were initially established. In July 1818, the formation of a separate municipality Pirk was planned. Due to the low population of Pirk (14 families), the government of the rain district ordered a connection to the municipality of Oberlangau. The expansion of the municipality of Langau was achieved in March 1830 when the municipality of Oberlangau was incorporated into Mitterlangau in March 1830. Mitterlangau is still the name of the district for the former municipality of Langau within the town of Oberviechtach.
The community originally belonged to the district office of Neunburg vorm Wald, which opened up in the Oberviechtach district in 1862.
