history

It was first mentioned in a document around 1081. Since 1310 the place has had market rights and since 1925 city rights.
The stream and the area were named "Liubisa", the "lovely one" by the settlers from the north because of their feelings. The name has changed shape repeatedly. Liubes, Lewbs, Leubs, Langenleys and finally Langenlois.
In 1082 the diocese of Passau gave the wine toe in and around Liubisa to the Göttweig monastery , which already required profitable viticulture. In 1141 Duke Leopold donated two fiefs in Liubes to the Bavarian monastery in Reichersberg and the right to obtain wood from the forest between Kamp and Krems. Viticulture and the "Forties Forest" were closely linked to the settlement.

From the beginning, the settlement had grown out of two parts, which differ in terms of their structural features. The "lower Aigen" with the forties houses, the seat of merchants and traders and thus the markets: Kornplatz (Traidmarkt) and Holzplatz. The "upper Aigen" from the Anger upstream was the Weinhauersiedlung. The two Aigen each had their own judge and were united around 1430. Langenlois received market rights in 1310 ; 1346 the right to choose his own judges; 1411 the Leonhardi market is approved; In 1518 the coat of arms was awarded and the Dorothea market approved.

The prosperity of the citizens also had an impact on the cultural field. The parish church of St. Laurentius received plenty of donations and foundations so that it could be enlarged and embellished repeatedly. The citizen Niklas Gfeller built the Elisabeth Chapel at the Citizens Hospital and endowed it generously. Despite the misery of the war and the post-war period, the city today offers the image of an emerging community.

coat of arms

Blazon : “A red shield with a natural stream running through it. In its upper part a flat mountain with green grass and a natural cornfield. In the lower part of the shield, a green vineyard rises from the base. A silver wall crown with five visible battlements rests on the main edge of the shield, which is surrounded by an ornamented bronze-colored border. "
