history
In the 11th century Langenbrunn was created as a fief of the "Lords of the Prince's Castle" . Until 1805 it was under the rule of Werenwag . Then it came to Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen and there to the Hohenzollern Obervogteiamt Beuron . The Obervogteiamt Beuron became part of the Oberamt Wald in 1830 , which in turn became part of the Oberamt Sigmaringen in 1862 , which had belonged to the Prussian Hohenzollern Lands since 1850 . In 1973 it came to the municipality of Beuron and the district of Sigmaringen .
Todays situation
Today Langenbrunn has around 50 residents. Langenbrunn is characterized by agriculture. Many residents operated at least part-time farming until the end of the 20th century. In the meantime there is only one agricultural operation, which u. a. Operates dairy farming and a biogas plant .
The Langenbrunn pumping station is one of the two pumping stations of the water supply association on the right of the Danube . The water comes from the Großschmiedebrunnen and the Langenbrunn well. The karst water collects in the limestone layers of the Upper Jura . The water is distributed up to the Ablachtal between Neuhausen in the west and Vilsingen in the east.
Another small private pumping station ( 48 ° 4 ′ 24 ″ N , 9 ° 0 ′ 43 ″ E ) supplies Werenwag Castle with drinking water. The little house formerly connected to an oil mill is the remainder of the mill that was demolished in the middle of the 20th century. Until the year 2000, the old pump was operated with the help of the water power of the overflow (overflowing water) of various springs and the Großschmiedebrunnenbach in the pond to pump spring water into the castle, which is 200 m higher. The pump system has now been electrified.
Tourist development
Since the end of the 20th century, the Danube valley has been increasingly developed for tourism. Holiday apartments and farm holidays are also offered in Langenbrunn. The location of the place is well suited as a starting point for hikes and bike tours. Below the Werenwag is the Schreyfels, a popular destination for climbers.
Since 1958, the German Red Cross (DRK district association Zollernalb) has been operating a mountain rescue rescue station in Langenbrunn. From here, help for climbers, hikers and cyclists is possible in the event of accidents during the summer months. The rescue station is manned by volunteers during the day on weekends from May to October.
Attractions
- Werenwag Castle is located directly above Langenbrunn .
- Langenbrunn's double-hinged arch bridge over the Danube was also known. However, this was replaced by a concrete structure in 2005. Preserving the old bridge was not possible due to the high costs. The old bridge also only had a load-bearing capacity of 7 tons. Agricultural machines, as they have recently been used in the Danube Valley, have a multiple weight and damaged the old bridge so much that it had to be replaced by a more stable one. According to reports from local residents, the northern foundation of the bridge was hit by an aerial bomb in the spring of 1945, causing the northern arch to fall into the Danube. However, the bridge was repaired in the first post-war years by building a new foundation.
- The St. Walburgakapelle in Langenbrunn is a late baroque church with a three-part facade. Its restoration was completed in 2004.
