Waltersdorf is one of the younger settlements in Saxon Switzerland. The Waldhufendorf originally comprised 13 farms and was first mentioned in 1501 as Waltirstorff . In 1530 the place was called Walttersdorff , in 1548 Waldtersdorff was common. The village belonged at that time the Office Pirna-Rathen and at the end of the 17th century the office Pirna on. Between 1856 and 1875 the judicial administration of Waltersdorf was in Schandau, afterwards the village belonged to the Pirna administration . Before Waltersdorf was given independence as a rural community through the Saxon rural community order in 1838, the place was characterized by the feudal system . The manor ruled the Prossen estate in the 17th and 18th centuries . In the year 1764 13 possessed men and 10 cottagers were liable to pay taxes, they cultivated 9 1 ⁄ 2 Hufen land. Before that, Waltersdorf was owned by the sovereign as an official village, in 1548 14 possessed men and 10 residents lived in Waltersdorf on 8 1 ⁄ 2 Hufen. The place had a hereditary court , from which an inn emerged.
A 489 hectare forest hoof field extended around the forest hoof village in 1900 . The residents of Waltersdorf, originally Franconian and Lower Saxon farmers, were predominantly active in agriculture and forestry for centuries or hired themselves as Elbe boatmen and in sandstone crushing. In church terms, Waltersdorf was parish first to Königstein and later to Porschdorf. Today the village belongs to the parish of Bad Schandau-Porschdorf. After the Reformation, the population of the place was predominantly Evangelical Lutheran , so in 1925 there were only four of 439 inhabitants who did not belong to this denomination. Tourism gained in importance since the beginning of the 19th century, with the Waltersdorfer Mühle in Polenztal , a grinding and cutting mill with the Swiss- style inn built in 1897 , being a popular excursion destination. In connection with tourism, the villa colony Neuporschdorf was created as a summer retreat, which is directly adjacent to Waltersdorf, but is already on Porschdorfer Flur.
After the Second World War , Saxony came into the Soviet occupation zone and later to the GDR . The historically grown affiliation to Pirna was retained even after the territorial reform in 1952 , which Waltersdorf assigned to the Pirna district in the Dresden district. Rural life in Waltersdorf was now based on agriculture in the GDR . The town lost its communal independence on April 1, 1974 when it was incorporated into Porschdorf.
After German reunification , Porschdorf and Waltersdorf came to the re-established Free State of Saxony. The following regional reforms in Saxony assigned Porschdorf to the Saxon Switzerland district in 1994 and to the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district in 2008. Waltersdorf has belonged to the city of Bad Schandau since January 1, 2012 , as Porschdorf was incorporated there.
The population of the place has risen continuously since 1834 up to the determined high of 509 in the year 1946. In the GDR the population then decreased, in 1964 417 people lived in Waltersdorf. In 2009 the place had 338 inhabitants.
