Weilbach belonged to the Ursberg Monastery from 1209 to 1467 , which sold it to the Spiegel family. The Weilbach coat of arms also comes from them. From 1544 to 1682 it belonged to the Fuggers , from 1682 to 1806 to the St. Jakobs benefice Augsburg . Weilbach has been Bavarian since 1806. In 1842 the Weilbach Castle was demolished. On January 1, 1972, the village was in the context of local government reform to Pfaffenhausen incorporated .
