The discovery of a Neolithic stone ax, a settlement from the Urnfield period and two preserved Celtic burial mounds identify the area around Wattenbach as a settlement area that is thousands of years old. In 1130 the Regensburg Monastery acquired the place Wattenpach . Bishop Konrad bought it from Chuno, Count of Meglinen . In 1139 the Mallersdorf monastery owned a vineyard here. In 1292 a nurse of the hospital in Landshut is mentioned "von Wattenpach".

The villagers were assigned farmstead after farmstead on both sides of the village road. Over time, a distinction was made between Oberwattenbach and Unterwattenbach. In Oberwatenbach a farm is mentioned in 1230 and 1330, in 1377 and 1439 a Greselbeckhof, two vineyards and a Mochleinshof.
