With a contract of January 29, 1817, Laudenbach, together with the towns of Umpfenbach, Windischbuchen and Reichartshausen, came to the Kingdom of Bavaria in exchange for Dorndiel, Mosbach and Radheim from the Grand Duchy of Hesse.

[3] Laudenbach lies right on the Bavarian Lower Main between Miltenberg and Obernburg, and borders on the Odenwald.

The hamlet of Brunnthal in Hessen, which belongs to Michelstadt’s outlying centre of Vielbrunn, is co-administered by Laudenbach.

There has been a slight rise in the community's population over the last few years owing mainly to the opening of new building areas, such as Sommerberg II, Bocksberg.

The community's arms might be described thus: A bend sinister wavy azure, in chief barry of six Or and gules, in base argent a buffalo's attire sable.
