history

In 1073 the place was mentioned as "Langala" in a document from Bishop Hermann I of Bamberg . In 1219 Hermann von Salza became a landlord in Langeln. This made the place the seat of a commander of the Teutonic Order . In addition, the Counts of Dassel were among the landowners. Nine hooves came to the Counts of Wernigerode via Adelheid von Ravensberg, Ludwig's widow . The local court of the Drübeck monastery went to her after the secularization. From the 15th century the Kommende had to submit to the Counts of Wernigerode. In 1809 Jérôme Bonaparte ordered the formal abolition of the Coming Langeln. In 1830 Otto zu Stolberg-Wernigerode had about 800 acres of land near the Langeln domain, which contributed to the fact that he was the largest landowner in the province of Saxony .

On January 1, 2010, the previously independent communities of Langeln, Danstedt , Heudeber , Abbenrode , Schmatzfeld , Stapelburg , Veckenstedt and Wasserleben merged to form the northern Harz community.
