Geography

Th Ortsteil Wallendorf, consisting of the villages Wallendorf and Lamprecht, is located in a forested area in the southern part of the Thuringian Forest.

History

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]
