History
Langenbach was first mentioned in 818. It belonged to the Landgericht (regional magistracy) of Kranzberg, in the Rentamt (financial administrative district) of Munich. Until its 1803 secularization, the bishopric of Freising was the Langenbach district's most important landowner. Langenbach became an independent municipality in the course of the 1818 Bavarian administrative reforms. The community of Oberhummel was incorporated into Langenbach in 1972.

Commerce and Infrastructure
Transport
Thanks to its location on the Munich–Regensburg line and on Staatsstraße 2350, Langenbach has become a popular commuter suburb. In 2009 the Langenbach train station received new, elevated platforms and a pedestrian underpass.
At Langenbach station, the Hallertauer Lokalbahn branches off towards Enzelhausen. Until 1973, this line was served by passenger trains. Today, only a section of around 5 km remains, running from Langenbach to the Zolling power station. This line is used to supply the power station with coal.
