history

On December 27, 1111, the village was first mentioned as Vallis Nordera , the source of which is the Rotulus Sanpetrinus . Around 1265 the nunnery in Friedenweiler recruited farmers to clear and settle the valley. As a result, the St. Peter monasteries, owners of the neighboring village of Waldau and other monasteries, judicially set the boundary markings of the community that are still valid today. For this reason, from 1525 to 1806, the state border between Upper Austria and the Principality of Fürstenberg ran between the communities of Langenordnach and Waldau.

In 1529 16 houses were mentioned in Langenordnach, meaning closed agricultural estates. 15 of them still exist today and determine the structure and economy of the place. The traditional pagan house shape is still preserved in many, as well as numerous outbuildings, court saws, mills and court chapels. Almost all farm estates are also in the original family ownership. The development of the court and family names that are still used today can be observed between the 14th and 18th centuries.

In 1731 the valley received its own chapel, which was consecrated to Saint Wendelin and replaced by a new building in 1971. Langenordnach had its own school since 1784.

In 1664 the first Black Forest clock was built in the neighboring village of Waldau , after which a long tradition of watchmaking began in Langenordnach. In the 18th century the production of clocks gained further importance, products were sold as far as England, where several families from Langenordnach opened clock shops.

At the same time, violins were also being made in the valley and sold throughout Europe. The Straub family of violin makers achieved particular fame .

Langenordnach became a part of the municipality of Titisee-Neustadt on January 1, 1974. In 2012 the district had 254 inhabitants.

geography

The district of Langenordnach is located in the valley of the Langenordnach brook , which begins its course in the neighboring district of Waldau to the north and then runs through the scattered settlement areas of Langenordnach in a kerbsohlental with only moderately sloping slopes in the old Danubian direction southeast to south, and then in the Neustadt district from the left into to flow into the Wutach, which is still called Gutach . The district, the height limits of which follow the watersheds on the valley sides very precisely, extends about 6 km south-southeast, nowhere reaches a width of 2.5 km and lies entirely in the protected landscape area of ​​Titisee-Neustadt .

Mountains in or on the edge of the district are about the Rau and the Fehrn . Neighboring valleys are Hölzlebruck , Jostal (because it runs parallel to Langenordnach also called Welsche-Orne in Alemannic ) and Schwärzenbach . 55% of the municipal area, mainly the higher areas, are covered by coniferous forest. The entire area is used for agriculture and forestry.

Protected animal species in Langenordnach are, for example, the rough owl and the capercaillie .

today

The scattered settlement Langenordnach consists mainly of agriculture and forestry, tourism and sport also play a major role. It has been officially recognized as a resort since 2014 .

The valley has three inns and a hotel as well as numerous guest houses, as well as hiking trails, a sports field, its own chapel with cemetery and Kneipp facilities, as well as its own fire brigade. There is also a fool's club, a ski sports club and a football club. In winter there is a cross-country ski run, and numerous winter sports events take place.

Citizens' initiatives ensure regular events and tournaments, as well as maintaining the town center and keeping a chronicle. An extensive club life also strengthens cultural self-confidence among young people.

Langenordnach shares its own primary school with the neighboring village of Waldau .
