Waldkraiburg is one of the Bavarian displaced person cities. During World War II, an armour factory fabricated gunpowder in this area. The remaining bunkers were soon used as makeshift housing for displaced persons from Bohemia.
Officially founded on April 1, 1950, the community grew fast and, in 1960, it was granted the rights of a town.
Today, chemical and engine building factories are located in Waldkraiburg.
