geography

Langenhart is located around seven kilometers north of the city center in the Obere Donau Nature Park at 710 meters above sea level on the southern edge of the Swabian Alb . The municipal area covers around 435 hectares (as of December 31, 2010).

history

The village is one of the youngest settlements in the area and was only named in 1531 as "Hard" or "Lang-Hard" in the " Gutensteiner Hard". The creation was arranged by Gottfried Werner von Zimmer (1484–1554). First, several settlement centers (Meuliskreut, Hardt, Krieseloch) were created for emigrants from the Allgäu , which gradually grew together to form a village. The name Langenhart was not adopted until 1686; the village officially got its name in 1744.

Already in the Hallstatt period the area was probably a hunting and settlement area. Finds from the “Haggenberg” ( burial mound in the “Hackernberg” forest southeast of Langenhart) bear witness to this era. However, they cannot be clearly dated, as it was associated with a fragment of a snake brooch when it was found.

Langenhart, once a Fürstenberg community, was incorporated into the Baden district of Meßkirch . When the district of Meßkirch became part of the Stockach district in 1936 , Langenhart remained an independent municipality. Langenhart has been in the Sigmaringen district since 1973. On January 1st, 1974 Langenhart was incorporated into the city of Meßkirch at his own request.

religion

Langenhart with his branch chapel “St. Sebastian und Rochus ”and the cemetery has belonged to the Roman Catholic parish of Engelswies since 1850 ; this was raised to an independent parish on December 11, 1849 and with the decree of the Freiburg Archbishop Hermann von Vicari on February 22, 1850, Langenhart was separated from Gutenstein and Rohrdorf . At the same time Engelswies was raised to an independent parish, until then Engelswies was a curate of Meßkirch. The parish belongs to the pastoral care unit Laiz - Inzigkofen and is located in the Archdiocese of Freiburg . The village chapel “St. Sebastian und Rochus ”was built after the plague epidemic of 1611 in Langenhart in 1612 and replaced in 1723 by the larger baroque building that still exists today. In the “Real Schematism of the Archdiocese of Freiburg” from 1863 it is still referred to as “St. Wendelinskapelle ”.
