history

Longkamp is derived from the Latin longus campus , which in German means "long field" or the "field of longus ". Roman artifacts and remains of walls were found in the area. Until 1802 the place formed a municipality with Kommen . Since 1946 the place has been part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
