Langenthal

Langenthal is a district of Hirschhorn situated at approximately 181 meters elevation in a landscape defined by meadows and fields. The area spans roughly 635 hectares and is shaped by the Geo-Naturpark Bergstraße-Odenwald.

The place was first documented in 1322 and originally belonged to the Lords of Harfenberg. It later passed to the Landschad von Steinach family before becoming part of the Grand Duchy of Hessen-Darmstadt.

Langenthal reflects its agricultural heritage through land consolidation practices, maintaining 635 hectares of traditional farming territory within its boundaries.

The area connects to Hirschhorn through a network of local routes and carries postal code 69434. Visitors should stick to established paths and keep in mind that this is a rural region with active agricultural use.

A substantial portion of the historical tithe revenues went to the Wormser Hofkammer, while a smaller share supported the parish in Neckarsteinach. This unequal distribution reflected the complex territorial dependencies typical of many settlements in the region.
