Longkamp is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
Longkamp is surrounded with meadows and forests. It lies at the edge of the Hunsrück south of the Moselle and is a state-recognised tourism community. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Bernkastel-Kues, whose seat is in the like-named town.
In 1030, Longkamp had its first documentary mention. The name is of Gallo-Romance origin and derives from the Latin longus campus, which means “long field”. Until 1802, Longkamp was united with Kommen into one municipality.
The council is made up of 16 council members, who were elected by proportional representation at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.
The municipal election held on 7 June 2009 yielded the following results:[2]
| Kaiser | Total | ||||
| 2009 | 2 | 9 | 5 | 16 seats | |
| 2004 | 2 | 10 | 4 | 16 seats |
Since 2019, Horst Gorges has been Mayor of Longkamp.[1] His predecessor was Franz-Josef Klingels, in office between 2007 and 2019. He succeeded Hans Johann Herrmann (CDU).
Although there were still 150 farming businesses in the 1950s, agriculture today only plays a very small rôle in the local economy.
In Longkamp are one kindergarten and one primary school.
Frankfurt-Hahn Airport lies 21 km away.
