Wollaberg is a small town in the district of Freyung-Grafenau in Bavaria in Germany.
Wollaberg is located in the southern Bavarian Forest, not far from the Czech and Austrian borders.
Freyung church bills mention pilgrimages since 1591 and especially in the year of plague 1599 "when they went to Wallenperg".
He considered that Wollaberg was formed from the surrounding villages around 1257, because at that time this area was given by the Bishop of Passau, Otto von Lonsdorf, as a fief to the nearby castles to pay his war debt.
Therefore, the owners of these castles tried as soon as possible to settle in this area in order to gain income themselves from tithes and rents.
