Langen, Agricultural village in Geestland, Germany

Located on the western slope of Hohen Lieth, Langen extends across 7.83 square kilometers at an elevation of 7 meters above sea level.

The settlement was first documented in 1139 when Archbishop Aldalbero transferred ownership for establishing the St. Paul's Monastery in Bremen.

The Ritzerberg burial mound from the Funnel Beaker culture period stands as a testament to early settlements in the northern German region.

The district connects to neighboring Bremerhaven through regional rail service at Langen station and regular public bus transportation networks.

Six major fires occurred in Langen during the 19th century, with the most severe incident taking place in 1878, transforming the village layout.
