The documentary first mention of Wallendorf was dated December 29, 1414. Lamprecht as part of Wallendorf was first mentioned in a document December 21, 1386.[1]

The baroque Elisabeth's church, built until 1734, was sponsored by Peter Hohmann and his descendants. The Hohmann family was also owner of the Manor Wallendorf. The so-called Gutshof (manor house) and Fronwiese (lord's meadow) are indications of that historical period.[2]
