An archaeological testament to the prehistoric occupation of the area was made when rich Celtic graves were discovered on the west edge of the village in 1959.[2] The first documentary mention of Wallau is in a 950 deed from a donation of Otto I in which the village is referred to as Wanaloha. In 1563 a Latin school was founded and in 1572 a weekly market.[3]
