In 2015, Langeneicke, together with the village of Mittelhausen to the south-west of the "Hellweg" (B 1), has a population of around 1160 and is located on the northern slope of the Haarstranges at up to 115 meters above sea level.
The first historical mention can be found in an imperial charter of King Henry II dated April 10, 1011, in which he transfers the place "Langaneka", which gave its name to Langeneicke, from the former Grafschaft Hahold to Bishop Meinwerk of Paderborn. To mark the 1000th anniversary of the village, the village community organized a large two-day village festival. The village center, Kirchpark, was completely redesigned by the community. Today, it is a lively meeting place for generations and a resting place for pilgrims on the Way of St. James and cyclists.
Langeneicke has many inner village green spaces with old oak trees and ensures a stable population for the future by building in gaps, continuing to use existing residential buildings and moderately designating new building areas.
Langeneicke combines tradition and modernity. Predominantly agricultural until the 1960s, Langeneicke now offers over 200 jobs in the "Geseke West" industrial estate and in its local businesses. The village also has a good, family-friendly infrastructure and two inns invite you to stop for a bite to eat.
In Langeneicke, people stick together. The head of the village and the Kulturring regularly invite people to "district meetings". Young and old discuss what has happened in the village and what should happen in the future.
Be it the maintenance of the church park, memorial and cemetery, the organization of senior citizens' meetings and shopping carpools, the preservation of the oak tree tradition in the village or the creation of the village's own youth meeting place "JULA". Langeneicke proved its particular drive when it built St. Barbara's Church in 1902 in a record time of just six months, entirely with its own funds.
The village motto "Firmly rooted in the future!" is lived every day in Langeneicke.
