About the town of Waldershof

The town of Waldershof is a corporation under public law and, as a municipality in the Upper Palatinate, is responsible for public services of general interest. It offers citizen services through the town hall and an online citizen service portal, as well as a building authority, a municipal yard with winter maintenance services, the registry office, the residents' registration office and a lost-and-found office. In addition, the town operates the local water supply. Waldershof lies between the Fichtelgebirge and Steinwald nature parks and has around 4.233 inhabitants. The town was first documented in 1263 as 'Waltershofe'; in 1463 it was granted market rights.
