history

Wallendorf was first mentioned in a document on December 29, 1414. Lamprecht, which was run with Wallendorf, was first mentioned in a document on December 21, 1386. In the volume of the year 1550, the hammer forge in Wallendorf was noted for the first time in the Pappenheimschen Lehnbuch, with Hans (known as "the Schnepfle-Hans") and Claus Bock, two hammer mill owners are handed down there by name. In the 17th century, the extensive forest ownership was initially an incentive to found a forest glassworks in the Wallendorf district, but this only existed for a few years, the forest then belonged to the state forest. The economic history of the district is shaped by the more than 240 year old tradition of porcelain production . The Wallendorf porcelain factory has existed since 1764. Heinz Schaubach took over the management of the art department in the porcelain factory after the First World War. When the company fell victim to the global economic crisis in 1926 and filed for bankruptcy, he was promoted to director of the art department of the entire company. Schaubach acquired the company share in Wallendorf from the bankruptcy estate and made it famous under the Schaubachkunst company .

The center of Wallendorf was the manor, which was founded in 1704 - the first owner was a Prussian aristocrat von Wartensleben , whose family had also co-founded the porcelain factory in the village with the support of the Barons von Hohenthal, who were wealthy in the Eilenburg office . The estate also included a cutting mill, grinder, village mug, brewery and blacksmith's shop. In the 19th century, the property was bought by Albert Heubach, a councilor of commerce, who at the same time also acquired shares in the porcelain factory in Wallendorf. The agricultural yields of the manor were low, so sheep and horses were bred until a major fire destroyed the barns and the harvest. Heubach did not have the money to repair the damage. On the outskirts on the upper Chaussee there was a rest area and horse changing station for the Thurn & Taxische Post Expedition until 1867. The canalization and arching of the Piesau brook, carried out in the 19th century, made traffic easier, while a small market square was created at the same time. The church in Wallendorf was donated in 1733 by a secret war councilor Peter Freiherr von Hohenthal from Hohenprießnitz on Trossin and Wallendorf and built in the style of the peasant baroque. Baroness Christiane Friederica Hohmann von Hohenthal donated the first Bible to the parish at Christmas 1735. The parsonage and the village school were built at the same time as the church and school lessons were introduced in 1734 by the first pastor, Johann Heinrich Roßtümpfel. The parish included the residents of the surrounding hamlets and farms Teich, Ober- and Unterbock, Piesau, Lamprecht and Ascherbach. A lightning strike damaged the spire of the church in 1882, and the three owners of the porcelain factory Kommerzienrat Gabriel Heubach, Kommerzienrat Friedrich Kampf from Eisenberg and Robert Sonntag made donations for the quick repair of the damage. The church was donated three colored church windows in 1899, in the following years further repairs and embellishments were carried out, and heating for the winter months was approved. In the summer of 1917, the bells for armaments production had to be handed in; in 1921 two steel bells were consecrated to replace them.

The Thuringian Forest Association, Section Bock and Teich was founded in Wallendorf in 1887 and served to build up tourism by setting up hiking trails and viewpoints. The association's refuge, known as Petersburg, was a landmark of the Wallendorf community around 1900. On July 1, 1950, the merged valley villages of Lichte, Wallendorf, Geiersthal and Bock and Teich were merged.

On January 1, 2019, Wallendorf came to the city of Neuhaus am Rennweg as part of the incorporation of Lichte and thus moved from the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district to the Sonneberg district.
