history

Langschied fountain

The place was first mentioned in 1260 as "Langinscheid". Its foundation probably goes back to the Benedictine order, who founded the Gronau monastery a good hundred years earlier in the neighboring western valley . In 1347 it is called "Langenscheit" and in 1520 "Langscheitt". In 1583 the name was documented as "Langenschiedt".

During the Thirty Years War , the place and the neighboring town of Egenroth were deserted by all residents. In 1774 the quadrilateral area was divided into the Nastatter recesses and Langschied came to Hessen-Rotenburg . From 1806 to 1813 the place was then under French administration with the entire Lower County of Katzenelnbogen . In 1816 Langeschied came to the Duchy of Nassau . In 1907 the construction of a water pipeline began, and electricity was introduced in the village at the end of 1922 .
