The Wackersdorfer church was first mentioned in 1217, it should have been according to the traditions of the mother parish of Schwandorf. Around 1400 began the construction of the parish church of St. Stephen, but this was demolished in 1953 as part of the resettlement. With the Reformation period 1548-1617 were religious innovations also for the place. The Catholic faith was re-introduced in 1618; 1669 Wacker village is independent parish.
The first approaches to industrial exploitation of Wackersdorfer Erdschätze go back to the year 1800. A total of 1801 different traders are listed.
