 The "Langenbacher Mühle" was named as early as 1446 in a reckoning of accounts from the "Oberamt" of Lichtenberg (this is also reckoned to be Langenbach's first documentary mention, although sources differ), and there is the first "Erbbestandsbrief" ("Erbbestand" was a uniquely German landhold arrangement in which ownership rights and usage rights were separated; this is forbidden by law in modern Germany) from 1575.The mill crops up once again in the 1745 mill protocol, and towards the end of the 18th century, it was supposedly owned by a man named Jacob Benedum, who was for a time a member of Schinderhannes’s (Johannes Bückler’s) band of outlaws.The mill flourished even into the time after the Second World War, but in the course of the "great mill die-off", even the "Langenbacher Mühle" was eventually given up, sometime about 1955.
