Walpersreuth (also Walchersreut, Wolpersreut, Ödwalpersreuth, Wallpersrheut, Walbersreuth ) belonged to the Schönficht fortress in the 15th century . It was mentioned when in 1402 the Waldsassen monastery bought the Schönficht fortress and the villages belonging to it from Landgrave Johann von Leuchtenberg . With that Walpersreuth came to the Stiftland . Walpersreuth is mentioned in writing in King Sigmund's privilege from 1434.

In the 15th century, Schönficht castle maintenance included the villages of Schönficht, Walpersreuth, Mitteldorf, Eppenreuth, 2 courtyards in Geißenreuth, Wurmsgefäll and Leichau. Later, the Schönficht castle maintenance was incorporated into the Beidl court .

In 1433 Hans Meingast, citizen of Neustadt, sold his farm in Walpersreuth to the Waldsassen monastery. In the 15th century, Walpersreuth was owned by Fricz Redwiczer. Then it passed into the possession of Balthasar von Tettau , who sold it to Wilhelm Schenk von Trautenberg in 1503 .

Elector Ottheinrich introduced the Protestant denomination in his principality by decree in 1542 . In the years 1548 to 1571, the rule of the Waldsassen monastery gradually passed into the state sovereignty of the Electorate of the Palatinate. In the context of the reorganization of the church system in the entire Upper Palatinate carried out by Ottheinrich in 1558, Wurz became a parish in the superintendent of Tirschenreuth . The parish of Wurz included the localities of Kotzenbach, Pfaffenreuth, Mitteldorf, Rotzendorf, Walpersreuth, Eppenreuth, Kahhof, Lamplmühle, Ernsthof , Stinkenbühl, Rotzenmühle, Wurmsgefäll, Geißenreuth.

During the Counter Reformation , Wurz became Catholic again, Ottheinrich's ecclesiastical division was abolished and the situation before the Reformation was restored. Waldsassen Abbey was returned to the Cistercians in 1669 . The parish of Wurz was now part of the Nabburg deanery .
