The village, first mentioned as "Langenhagen" in 1236, had a church early on, because in 1253 a pleban is mentioned, in 1492 a church. Over the centuries various place names with the additions "-hagen" and "-hain" can be traced: "Langenhayn" (1332), "Haghen" (1343), "Hayn an deme Hundsrucke" (1365), "for the Heynchin grove "(1696). Jurisdiction over the place lay with the Lords of Boyneburg , to whom in a contract of 1602 the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel even left the embarrassing jurisdiction here.
