History
The documentary first mention of ''Wallendorf'' was dated December 29, 1414. Lamprecht as part of Wallendorf was first mentioned in a document December 21, 1386.
The baroque Elisabeth's church, built until 1734, was sponsored by
Peter Hohmann and his descendants. The Hohmann family was also owner of the
Manor Wallendorf. The so-called Gutshof (manor house) and Fronwiese (lord's meadow) are indications of that historical period.
