In 1335, Count Johann II von Sponheim-Kreuznach gave his village “Langen Lonzheim auf der Nahe” to the Archbishopric of Cologne in exchange for 1000 pounds of Heller . At the beginning of the 18th century, Langenlonsheim belonged to the Oberamt Kreuznach and thus to the Electorate of Palatinate . Already during the French rule Langenlonsheim was from 1798 the seat of a mairie with five communities. According to the final act of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the area became Prussian and the place remained the seat of a mayor's office .
