 The settlement of Langenbach itself is known to have arisen only a few hundred years after the donation, perhaps in the 10th century.In 1127, Count Gerlach I from the Nahegau founded the County of Veldenz and at the same time became the "Schutzvogt" over the "Remigiusland".A younger line of the Counts of Veldenz, founded about 1270 by Heinrich von Geroldseck, died out in 1444.
