history

In 1938 the Katterbach airfield was created by the German Wehrmacht . In connection with the airfield, a factory hall with an associated residential building was founded in the same year in the municipality of Herpersdorf , today's Langenheim. Airplane engines were originally serviced and repaired in the facility. After the Second World War , the factory served as a reception camp for expelled Germans from Eastern Europe. In August 1948 the first refugees came from Langendorf in the Bohemian Forest . They named the settlement "Langenheim", but officially it was considered part of Wicklesgreuth . In the meantime up to 300 people lived in this settlement. On February 25, 1970, the government of Middle Franconia made Langenheim an officially named district. Until the regional reform , the settlement was administered by the Herpersdorf community. With the dissolution of the community on January 1, 1972, Langenheim was incorporated into Petersaurach.
