Why visit

Wallerstein is where Johann Andreas Amon died on 29 March 1825. The Wallerstein court orchestra had Antonio Rosetti as Kapellmeister, and Joseph Reicha, cellist and composer, lived there until 1785.

Origins and history

The place is first documented in 1238, as Steinheim. In 1500 Emperor Maximilian I granted it the market right. The Wallerstein court orchestra made the small residence known: Antonio Rosetti (1750-1792) was its Kapellmeister and gave his name to the local music school founded in 1978, and Joseph Reicha (1752-1795) lived there until 1785.
