History
Langenbach was first mentioned in 818. It belonged to the Landgericht (regional jurisdiction) 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.

Transport
Thanks to its location on the Munich–Regensburg line and on Highway 11, Langenbach has become a popular commuter suburb. In 2009 the Langenbach train station is due to receive new, elevated platforms and a pedestrian underpass. It will also be served from December 2009 onwards by a new hourly regional train running from Freising to Landshut.
Since 1973 Langenbach has been served by the Hallertauer Lokalbahn, which runs from Freising to Langenbach on the Landshut line before diverting in the direction of Hallertau.
