history

Finds from the time of linear ceramics point to the early settlement of the area. The church of Leitenhausen was built in the 13th century. The community of Leitenhausen, founded in 1818 with the Bavarian community edict, with the places Leitenhausen, Bärnpoint, Günzenhofen, Hagenach, Kitzenhofen and Schicka (Mühle), initially belonged to the Pfaffenberg district court , which was renamed Mallersdorf in 1840 . With the formation of the district offices in 1862 it came to the district office of Rottenburg, from which the district of Rottenburg an der Laaber emerged in 1939 . On January 1, 1978, the municipality of Leitenhausen was incorporated into the Langquaid market as part of the regional reform in Bavaria .

The village consists mainly of private houses and a few farms that cultivate the land in the area. Today Leitenhausen has almost grown together with Langquaid.
