New !!!
Pictures of my attendance in October 2004:

Impressions:
Langenberg is based at the end of route 113 from Gollnow, close to river Oder. There was not much to see or to take pictures of. Though there were still old houses from before the war, but some ugly new buildings too, like in Karlshof. These new flats probably count for the stable population, but not for the flair of this village. There is no real central place, i saw no shops, church or cemetary.
Sorry, but compared to the romantic villages in this region like Harmsdorf or Amalienhof this Langenberg looks somehow hopeless....

If someone speaks polish: Here is a description of the village from the polish Gollnow-Homepage:
