Langenfeld (Ripuarian: Langefääl) is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany) in the district of Mettmann.

Langenfeld was formed from the two localities of Richrath and Reusrath and received city rights in 1948.

The town was honored for that with the prize Kommune des Jahres 2007 (Municipality of the Year 2007) in the national contest Großer Preis des Mittelstandes (Grand Prize by Small Firms and Traders) of the Oskar-Patzelt-Siftung.

[3] To achieve that goal, on the one hand taxes got raised and in addition cuts of subsidies to clubs applied, so that debts halved from 1997 up to 2002.

[6] Langenfeld is accessed by nearby highways A 3, A 59 and A 542, as well as the Bundesstrasse (federal route) B8.
