history

In 1086 it was first mentioned that parts of Langenschiltach had been settled. Over 200 years later, in 1303, the name appeared in the Shilta . The first known owners in Langenschiltach came from Hornberg . When they died, this part went to the Sankt Georgen monastery in the Black Forest . Most of Langenschiltach, however, was claimed by the Counts of Fürstenberg . In 1368 almost all of Langenschiltach belonged to the Tunningen family from Villingen due to inheritance . Only gradually did more and more parts of Langenschiltach belong to the monastery in St. Georgen. In 1760, Langenschiltach became an important place at the time thanks to a post office on the Strasbourg - Schaffhausen route operated by the Thurn and Taxis Post Office . This post road already lost its importance with the construction of the Black Forest Railway . On July 1, 1973, Langenschiltach was incorporated into the city of Sankt Georgen in the Black Forest .

The agriculture still plays a major role. Nowadays one tries to develop a further source of income with the offer “ Holidays on the farm ”. This place is a popular destination, especially for city dwellers .
