Langenberg

Langenberg is an urban district in Velbert that spreads across hilly terrain and combines residential areas with traditional German architecture. The quarter sits at about 149 meters elevation and links several neighborhoods together.

The area was first mentioned in 1220 and grew from a small village into an important part of Velbert. Over the centuries, the settlement expanded steadily through gradual development.

The evangelical church shapes the local character with its baroque design and serves as a gathering point for religious services and community life. It remains at the heart of social activities for residents.

The district uses postal code 42555 and telephone area code 02052 for communication and services. These details help with orientation and reaching local services.

The Langenberg transmitter is a notable broadcast facility that uses the district's elevated position to send out medium wave, FM, and television signals across the region. This installation has served as an important local landmark for decades.
