After 1815, the part of Langbroich belonging to the mayor's office Gangelt formed a school association with the neighboring village of Harzelt, which belonged to the mayor's office of Waldfeucht and the parish of Breberen. In 1852 the residents of both places applied to the Archbishop of Cologne to set up an independent parish . On December 8, 1855, the parish of St. Mary's Conception was established.
