Langenbrück was established as a Waldhufendorf village in the second half of the 13th century and settled with German colonists. The place was first mentioned in 1321. In 1331 a church in the place is mentioned for the first time. In 1390 it was mentioned as Longus Pons .

During the First Silesian War, the Prussian King Friedrich II stayed briefly in Langenbrück. After the First Silesian War in 1742, Langenbrück and most of Silesia came to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Langenbrück belonged to the district of Neustadt OS in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was an Erbscholtisei, a Catholic parish church, a Catholic school, six bleachers, four watermills, six looms, a wool spinning factory and a further 297 houses in the village. In the same year, 1819 people lived in Langenbrück, 209 of them Protestants. In 1855, 1,707 people lived in Langenbrück. In 1865 there were 43 farmer, 64 gardener and 174 housekeeping jobs as well as a farm, four water mills, a cloth factory, a whitewashing, five bleaching machines, six blacksmiths, a Catholic parish church and a school. The cloth factory was one of the largest cloth factories in the area in the mid-19th century. The three-class Catholic school was attended by 389 students in 1865. In 1874 the district of Langenbrück was founded, which consisted of the rural communities Langenbrück and Wildgrund and the manor districts of Langenbrück and Wildgrund. The first head of office was the mill owner Joseph Bischoff. In 1885 Langenbrück had 2190 inhabitants.

In 1903 a flood of the Goldbach destroyed large parts of the village. In 1933 there were 1897 people in Langenbrück in 1960 and in 1939. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Neustadt OS

Late in the evening on March 17, 1945, the residents of Langenbrück fled from the advancing Red Army . The Catholic parish church was destroyed by arson. Some of the refugees returned to Langenbrück on May 9th. In July and August 1945, Polish settlers occupied the farms in Langenbrück. After more than 50 young people and men were abducted by the Polish militia in October 1945, the remaining Germans were expelled on July 1, 1946 and arrived in the British occupation zone a week later .

In 1945 the previously German town of Langenbrück came under Polish administration and was renamed Moszczanka and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship . In 1999 the place came to the powiat Prudnicki .
