Shortly before the Jossa leaves the Grtchen, the Wallersdorf district extends as a closed cluster village at the confluence of the Bieben. According to the old spelling "Waldolwißdorph", the founding of the place points to a Waldolf. Wallersdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1263, when Konrad von Schlitz ceded his ownership rights to the Christilshausen deserted settlement in the district to the Cistercian Abbey of Haina. During the time of the Hospitallers, the town belonged to their dominion and in 1526, with its own court, became the property of the Hessian landgraves. As a border town on a side arm of the road through the "Kurze Hessen" Wallersdorf had a landgrave's customs post, through which the customs for all passing wagons, also the salt duty, the cattle duty for horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and geese driven through, the Jewish customs and the Wine duty was levied. Due to the widening Jossatal, the place is the most sparsely forested district in the Grundtchen. Nevertheless, the Wallersdorf mayor Hans Häger, who was also the forester of the Grebenau forest, pleaded in a forest inspection commission in 1630 for the cultivation of the pine tree, which made Grebenau and the Grundy known far beyond the borders. Until 1805 the town had its own church, which is believed to be in the vicinity of the Dangel and Krug houses; but it was canceled due to dilapidation.

The text is an excerpt from the book "Grebenau and its districts in old views". This book is available from the city administration of Grebenau.
