History
The first written mention of Langenhagen under its current name originates from 990, and the town is mentioned for the first time in 1312 as Nienhagen. The year 1618 was very important for the development of the town, because Langenhagen received trade privileges. Langenhagen became an important transport hub in the 20th century, mostly due to the construction of the Hannover-Hamburg railroad in 1890, and port on the Mittelland Canal in 1916. By the 1930's the A2 Motorway was built. The Second World War brought enormous destruction and two thirds of Langenhagen were destroyed in bombardments. The period after the war was a period of fast economic and social development, so in 1959, Langenhagen got its city charter, and in 1974, during the administrative reform, the city territory was expanded to its current size.Langenhagen (Germany) :: Град Бијељина :: The Langenhagen standard (German: Langenhagener Norm), declared 1990 and sponsored by Brenneke is an industry standard for the minimal precision of shotguns and combination guns fit for hunting with shotgun slugs.
