history

Until the 19th century

Langensendelbach was one of the 14 places that came to the Bamberg diocese in 1007 through Heinrich II . Langensendelbach was first mentioned by name as a gift to the Bamberg diocese in a document dated July 13, 1062. The Augustinian monastery in Neunkirchen am Brand was the parish for the community until 1709. From 1500 the village was part of the Franconian Empire . The affiliation to the bishopric of Bamberg ended with the secularization in 1803. The place has belonged to Bavaria since that time.
