Langgöns (German pronunciation: [ˈlaŋɡœns]) is a municipality in the district of Gießen, in Hesse, Germany. It is situated 10 km south of Gießen.
Due to the town's convenient proximity to several former U.S. military bases; Ayers Kaserne, Giessen Army Depot, and Ray Barracks, the town was formerly home to community of several hundred Americans, primarily U.S. military and civilian personnel and their families.
