history

The name means something like "village of Waldo". Wallerdorf is mentioned for the first time in 1147: In a document from the Indersdorf monastery , a "Conradus de Walderdorff" is mentioned as a witness in a transfer of ownership. Wallerdorf is first mentioned as a place in the Wittelsbach Duke Surbar from 1280 under Amt Rain. Thereafter, both the Bavarian Wittelsbach dukes and the Judmann from Rohrenfels owned possessions and tithe in Wallerdorf. Ludwig the Bavarian donated one of the ducal courts to the Niederschönenfeld monastery in 1322 , which also bought the Judmann tithe in 1330. In 1580 both the Niederschönenfeld Monastery , the Bergen Monastery (from 1616 Jesuit Seminary in Neuburg) and the Blumenthal Order of the Teutonic Order owned property. In 1800 the noble family of Hörwarth on Aiterberg , Counts of Berchem and Sandizell also owned farms in Wallerdorf.

The Wallerdorf Curate with the Church of St. Nicholas belongs to the parish of Holzheim . The choir and tower of the church date from 1500, the nave from 1872.

Until July 1, 1972, Wallerdorf belonged to the district of Neuburg an der Donau as an independent municipality and then fell to the district of Donau-Ries with the regional reform in Bavaria , which was called the district of Nördlingen-Donauwörth until May 1, 1973 . On January 1, 1975, the place was incorporated into the city of Rain .
