The village is located south of the Oettinger Forest and is just under four kilometers from Oettingen. The Augraben flows through it, a right tributary of the Wörnitz . Several settlement areas are grouped around the old town.

In 1416 Niederhofen was named Niedererlbach after the neighboring town of Erlbach and was owned by the Counts of Oettingen. The chapel in honor of the saints five wounds was built in 1730.
