 According to a 1415 Veldenz document, Gottfried von Schmidtburg had received from Count Friedrich of Veldenz seven "Schilling" in "Heller" in holdings at Langweiler.According to this, the village was in the meantime pledged to the Counts of Veldenz.In 1448, the Rhinegraves sold several villages in the Grumbach area to Count Palatine (or Duke) Stephan, who can be considered the successor to the Counts of Veldenz, who had died out in the male line four years earlier.
