The municipality lies in the Vulkaneifel, a part of the Eifel known for its volcanic history, geographical and geological features, and even ongoing activity today, including gases that sometimes well up from the earth.

Gerhard Lord of Blankenheim reached a compromise with Himmerod Abbey for a recently donated piece of land near Niederstadtfeld and Wallenborn (Walleburne), on the road between Hundswinkel and Salm.

In 1777, the vicar received for his services, including as teacher, 24 Thaler and fruit delivery from the municipality.

In 1778, Wallenborn belonged to the Duchy of Arenberg, whose head, Duke Ludwig Engelbert, was later blinded as the result of a shooting accident.

In 1794, Wallenborn was in the Electoral-Trier Amt of Manderscheid and belonged to the Duke of Arenberg and the Baron of Zandt jointly.

In 1819, a municipal assessment yielded the facts that Wallenborn had 1,114 head of cattle and 42 residents with entitlement.

An 1854 edition of Eiflia Illustrata listed 8 springs in Wallenborn, known as Brubbeldreis; they are sulphur-bearing and deadly to insects.

That same year, 17-year-old Matthias Pflüger was denied leave to travel away from the village on the grounds that he was trying to avoid service in the army.

That same year, there was trial drilling on the Heidwiese, a local area of open ground, for carbonic acid (H2CO3).

The 20th century brought with it a new school building in 1906, and new financial help for Wallenborn from a fire insurance institution as “aid”.

Behind the main altar were two gravestones, adorned with cross, chalice and host, of vicars (or chaplains) who had held office here in the 18th century, namely Michael Palandt and Josef Pickart, and who had been buried in the church.

Likewise buried here was Margarete Webers née Hees from Heltermühle in Lorraine, who is believed to have been a benefactor.

[1] The municipality's arms might be described thus: Gules an arrow argent, point to base, between, fesswise, a cinquefoil Or pierced azure and a lion's head crowned erased of the third, on a chief of the fourth nine jets of water of the second, the middle one highest, the others each descending in height to the sides.

The nine jets of water in the chief are meant to stand for the Wallender Born (“Wavy Spring”), which gave the municipality its name.

The Lords of Zandt bore three crowned lions in their arms, and the Lordship of Arenberg bore as an heraldic charge three cinquefoils (this device is so-called in English heraldry,[4] but the German text describes it as a Mispel, German for the common medlar), thus explaining the charges either side of the arrow.

[5] The village’s main point of interest is the namesake Wallender Born (“Wavy Spring”), known in the local speech as Brubbel, a mofetta whose spouting water comes from an underlying cold-water geyser.

Public transport is integrated into the Verkehrsverbund Region Trier (VRT), whose fares therefore apply.
