History, infrastructure and sights

A document appears in 1159 Spileberch , perhaps built by the Lords of Perg and Machland , and 1192 stones , perhaps still as a field name, and around 1220/30 in the land register of Duke Leopold VI. of Austria and Styria De urbor Stein et Gusen . The first explicit mention of the place is Villa Stayn 1270. The 1353 Maut zu Stein is probably related to the neighboring Mauthausen . The place belonged to the Spielberg rule, with this later to the administration of the Steyregg rule , and still belongs to the parish of St. Georgen .

In the Franciscan cadastre (around 1830) the place appears to be located directly on the banks of the Danube, Spielberg is an island in the branched river. It was not until the Danube regulations in the 19th century that the north bank silted up. The Langenstein Altarm is declared a Schustergraben natural monument ( NDM566 ; street name Am Graben ). The Schlossau with the ruin Spielberg came only at a border adjustment as of 1 January 1997 by the municipality of Enns to Langenstein. Today's B3 – L569 is the old Hauderer-Straße on the north bank of the Danube.

There are important granite quarries to the northwest of the village ( Dirnbergerbruch in Gusen, today Poschacher ). The Gusen concentration camp , an extension of the Mauthausen concentration camp, was established there in 1938 ( Camp I ), which extended to above Langestein. Parts of this facility are now a listed building.

The place has been developing independently, a small street village with around 30 houses until the early 20th century , since the post-war years. A primary school was founded in 1965–68 (VS Langenstein) . In 1979, a general special school with classes for the severely handicapped was established at the house (ASO Langenstein) , which has been a special educational center for the district since 1994 ( PZ Perg ) .
