history
Early history
Tools of the Neanderthals were found in the area . During excavations in the course of the new development area “Am Kreuzweg” in the northeast of Langendiebach, archaeologists found numerous testimonies to early history. This includes a settlement with house layouts from the Bronze Age and a burial ground with over 50 graves, one of the largest burial grounds in the region. One of the graves contained numerous burial objects, including a gold earring . A Celtic settlement in the region has also been proven.
In Roman times the small fort Langendiebach existed here , which served to secure the nearby Upper German-Raetian Limes . Nothing is left of the small fort today. The area in which it stood was used as a cemetery for a long time, but abandoned a few years ago.
middle Ages
The oldest surviving mention of Langendiebach comes from 1218. Remains of a fortification such as a watchtower testify to a castle in Langendiebach. In the Middle Ages the place belonged to the Langendiebach court and thus initially to the territory of Kurmainz . Kurmainz pledged the court and with it the town of Langendiebach to the Counts of Hanau in 1426 . This pledge was redeemed in 1476 by the Counts of Isenburg . Langendiebach has belonged to their county since then.
Modern times
Territorially, the place shared the fate of the Langendiebach court: When the Rheinbund Principality of Isenburg, founded in 1806 , was mediatized in 1815 , it first came to Austria for one year and then to the Grand Duchy of Hesse (Hessen-Darmstadt). The whole principality was divided again between the two Hessians (Hessen-Darmstadt and Hessen Kassel) on the day of the handover. Approx. half of the part north of the Main - including Langendiebach - came to the Electorate of Hesse in mid-1816 . With the administrative reform of 1821, it was first assigned to the Gelnhausen district and from 1830 to the Hanau district. The Electorate of Hesse was on the losing side in the German War of 1866 and was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia ; it came to the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau . After the Second World War , Langendiebach became part of the state of Greater Hesse , which was newly formed by the occupying power, and from 1946 the community came to the state of Hesse after the referendum .
The Air Force built in the " Third Reich " west of the Langendiebach Hanau Army Airfield . This was completely destroyed in the course of the Second World War and then occupied by the US military and used by the United States Air Force . Among other things, the Markwald settlement between Langendiebach and the air base was rebuilt for this purpose. The presence of the Americans shaped the place for a long time until the troops withdrew in 2007. The future of the air base is still uncertain.
A business park is currently being built in the far north-east, directly on the motorway. In addition to a truck stop , some larger companies have settled there, such as Honda maintains a training center there.
Territorial reform
In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipalities of Langendiebach and Rückingen in what was then the district of Hanau merged on a voluntary basis on January 1, 1970 to form the municipality of Erlensee .

The municipality of Langendiebach in the Hanau district was granted the right to use a coat of arms and a flag on February 28, 1953 by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior . |
| Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms was designed after a court seal from the 19th century. the two black bars on silver is the coat of arms of the Lords of Ysenburg , to whose rule the place belonged. The wave rafter symbolizes the two rivers Fallbach and Landwehrbach that flow through the town. |
Flag description: “The flag cloth is split; In front it shows a division in the colors white-black-white-black-white, behind in green a yellow corrugated rafter , i.e. H. two yellow wavy bars inclined against each other and unifying at the top. "
