The town center is criss-crossed by green spaces and you can see the typical half-timbered houses of the Diemel Valley , reminiscent of an anger village . On the nearby Hölleberg there is an airfield for powered aircraft.

On December 31, 1970 , as part of the regional reform in Hesse, the municipality of Langenthal merged with six other previously independent municipalities and the small town of Trendelburg to form the expanded town of Trendelburg . They make up today's districts . The city administration is located in the core town of Trendelburg.
