In 1991 he was elected district chairman of the CSU Regensburg-Stadt. He held this office until the beginning of 2008. In 1978 he was elected to the Regensburg City Council for the first time, to which he has belonged continuously ever since, from 1984 to 1990 he was chairman of the Regensburg CSU town hall faction.

The 59-year-old was no longer eligible for the state elections in Bavaria in 2008 . The reason for his extensive withdrawal from active politics was, in addition to bitter power struggles within the deeply torn Regensburg CSU, the serious cancer of his first wife.

As the legal representative of the Bavarian State Parliament, Welnhofer was involved in a constitutional lawsuit that was decided to the detriment of the Bavarian state government. On October 27, 1998 the Federal Constitutional Court declared large parts of the Bavarian Pregnancy Aid Supplementary Act (BaySchwHEG) of August 9, 1996 to be unconstitutional. On November 21, 1996, two Bavarian doctors lodged a constitutional complaint in Karlsruhe against the “Bavarian Sonderweg” .

On May 12, 2005, he testified before the investigative committee of the Bavarian state parliament that the electoral assembly was difficult and full of tensions, "it almost burst" .

On February 1, 2006, the Münchner Merkur reported that Welnhofer had been sentenced by the Regensburg District Court to a fine of 4800 euros and a three-month driving ban for endangering traffic and fleeing an accident .

In 2013, Peter Welnhofer made a name for itself in the so-called " relatives affair ". As a member of the Bavarian state parliament, shortly before an employment ban for close relatives came into effect in 2000, he had employed his first wife a year earlier and his daughter on March 30, 2000. The employment relationships ended in 2009.
