Walloon immigrants settled the dilapidated village after the Thirty Years War and called it "nova villa", which gradually became Neudorf and finally Welschneudorf. In Kurtrier time here was built a hunting zeughaus , now a half as a church. In 1795 the place was completely destroyed by withdrawing French troops.
