history
Local history
The first buildings in the Wallroda district can be found in the 11th and 12th centuries. Lumberjacks from the Kleinwolmsdorf manor and immigrant farmers from Thuringia and Franconia built the first huts. Due to the difficult geographical and geological conditions and the dense forest, the place developed only slowly.

In 1349/50 the village is mentioned for the first time in the feudal book of Friedrich des Strengen , Margrave of Meißen and Landgrave of Thuringia. The name Wall roda (old forms of name: Waldenrode (1350), Waldynrode (1378), Waldrade (1517)) indicates the clearing of a forest for settlement (clearing village).
When Friedrich II's troops advanced via Dresden in the direction of Upper Lusatia during the Seven Years' War in September 1758 to fight against the troops of the Austrian general Gideon Ernst von Laudon , the Prussian soldiers, led by General Wolf Friedrich von Retzow, occupied Wallroda and Kleinwolmsdorf.
In the 17th century, 83 Wallroda residents fell victim to the plague . That corresponded to about a third of all villagers. On May 10, 1684, a severe thunderstorm and hailstorm devastated the entire Rödertal. Numerous people were killed, grazing animals were struck by hail and fields were devastated. Most of the buildings had their roofs and windows destroyed. In June 1804 Wallroda was hit by a devastating flood. According to tradition, the houses on the Röder were under water up to the second floor. All bridges in the Rödertal were destroyed by the water masses. In addition to many fatalities, there were also high livestock losses. The damage to agriculture resulted in severe famine in the entire area. The then Elector of Saxony, Friedrich August III. ("The Righteous") then supported the region with grain from the stately grain stores. Large fires devastated the place in 1830 and 1897.
From around the middle of the 19th century there were several taverns and dining options in the village. The Wallroda Hereditary Court (1898–1950s) was located on the road to Radeberg . On the road to Kleinröhrsdorf there was an inn from 1870 to 1949 ( Hörnig's inn from 1898 ). From 1949 to 1990 the local kindergarten was housed in this building. The Gasthof Wallroda existed from 1824 until the 1990s (founded as a commun bar building ). Opposite the inn was the village consumption during the GDR . The point of sale was closed in the early 1990s.
In the First and Second World War Wallroda was spared from destruction.

Culture and sights
Buildings
church
A church in Wallroda was first mentioned in the middle of the 14th century. The development is only incompletely documented. Until the Reformation it was considered a place of pilgrimage. The church, along with the old cemetery wall and two memorial stones, is a listed building. Between 1865 and 1902 there was an organ made by Gottfried Silbermann in the church . This is now in the St. Petri Cathedral in Bremen.
Wallrodaer mill
The Wallrodaer Mühle, a water mill on the Große Röder, has been recorded in the Radeberg office's income tax book since 1474 at the latest. The first mill owner known by name is Simon Bertert in 1571. The mill owners changed several times over the following centuries through sales and foreclosures. After a fire in 1807, Johann Gottfried Lehmann from Altstadt (today Stolpen ) acquired the mill, this purchase is recorded in a door frame that has been preserved. The mill functioned both as a grain mill with two grinding cycles and as a sawmill with a saw frame. In order to drive the wheels of the water mill, the Große Röder was dammed as a mill pond in the village. In 1871, the then owners of the mill, the Zinnert family, began selling their own baked goods. In 1896 the mill was sold to Ernst Otto Philipp from Fischbach. Philipp built a new oven in an outbuilding of the mill. In order to make it easier for the local farmers to deliver the grain, a ford was built through the Große Röder. The mill saw gate was in operation until the beginning of the 20th century. The mill pond was drained in the course of negotiations with the Dresden Oberflussmeisterei for the purpose of flood hazard in 1975/76, while the Große Röder was straightened and led past the mill. In 1976 a millstone was built into the outer wall to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the mill owned by the Philipp family. The mill buildings are listed and privately owned.
Memorials
On the north exterior facade of the church there are memorial plaques commemorating those who fell in the First World War.
A memorial to the left of the church on the cemetery wall commemorates three Soviet prisoners of war from the Radeberg labor education camp , who were murdered on a country road near the village in April 1945.
In the publicly accessible garden next to the building of the former council of the municipality there is a memorial stone for the inhabitants of the municipality who died in the Second World War.

nature and environment
The Wallroda dam is a water reservoir in Wallroda that was originally built for the supply of industrial water to agriculture (irrigation) and fishing. Fishing, camping and swimming are possible there. The Große Röder flows through the village in the direction of Radeberg. In 1975/76 the river bed was straightened and fortified with a trapezoidal extension profile. The embankment was planted with lawn. The profile is only interrupted in the local area by a short piece of bank wall in the area of a bridge. In Radeberg it flows together with the Schwarzen Röder . Until the confluence, the Große Röder is also known as the White Röder .
The Hüttertal extends northwest of Wallroda in the direction of Radeberg . The Kerbtal of the Große Röder, designated as a landscape protection area since 1954, was one of the first and at the same time smallest landscape protection areas in the former GDR. The European FFH directive also designates the Hüttertal as a bird sanctuary.
Clubs and events
Different registered associations shape the coexistence in the village. For example, there is a youth club, an allotment garden club, a table tennis club, a hobby soccer club and the Wallroda fire department's support association .
On March 29, 1943, the Wallroda Volunteer Fire Brigade was founded with three comrades from the Landwacht and other residents of the village . A total of 23 firefighters were sworn in at the founding meeting.
The Röderfest is held annually in September under the direction of the Wallroda volunteer fire brigade. Other regular events are the burning of the Christmas tree at the beginning of the year and the football tournament for amateur teams from the surrounding towns. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the stork club , which was founded to protect and care for the Wallroda storks and stork nests, regularly organized the Wallroda stork festival in Hüttertal.
Others
A pedestrian bridge over the Große Röder has been called a blue wonder by the locals for several generations due to the characteristic color of its railing .
The halves of the village separated by the Große Röder are traditionally referred to by the residents as the quark side (right side) and bacon side (left side of the Röder). According to tradition, this name is based on the fact that on the left side of the Röder there used to be mainly wealthy farming families who could afford more expensive food (bacon), while on the other side of the village there was comparatively poverty and the residents there were therefore dependent on cheap food (quark) were.
The products of the artificial flower manufacturer Heide Steyer enjoy an international reputation. The hat makers of the English royal family are among their customers. For example, Camilla Parker Bowles wore flowers from Wallroda to her wedding with Prince Charles . Even Queen Elizabeth II. Has some copies. Claudia Schiffer wore artificial flowers from Wallroda in her hair in a photo series by Karl Lagerfeld that was taken for Vogue magazine . In the Hollywood blockbuster Titanic , flowers from Wallroda were also used on the actors' costumes.
education
In the middle of the 16th century the first village school was opened in Wallroda . In 1805 the school was rebuilt on the site of the old building ( Hauptstrasse , since 2008 Großröhrsdorfer Strasse ). The steadily increasing number of school-age children required the construction of a larger school building in the center of the village around 1900. The street to the new school was named Schulberg . Up until 1975 there was a school of its own in town, after which Wallroda was integrated into the Arnsdorf school area. The school feeding remained even after adjusting the school operation in the village. Until the fall of the Berlin Wall , the school kitchen and dining room in the new school building were managed for the school-age children in Wallroda.
