History

Langholt grew up around the Knights Hospitaller Commandery of the same name. At first, the residents were religiously subordinate to the convent. After the Reformation, all monasteries and commanderies in East Frisia were gradually dissolved. The counts of East Frisia were particularly rigorous in their approach to the Knights Hospitaller, which was completely expropriated. In 1574, the property in Langholt was returned to the Knights Hospitaller after a settlement, which then leased it to hereditary tenants. The monastery also had a wooden church, which burned down in 1690. The village was then incorporated into the parish of Rhaude.

In 1899, the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Langholt was formed. It arose from the towns of Langholt, Burlage and Klostermoor, which had been separated from Rhaude, and had 300 to 400 members at the time of its founding. Already in the year of its founding, the congregation had its own pastor.
