history

In a bull of Pope Honorius II from 1126 an Altmann de Welinchinberg is mentioned. Several Lords of Welchenberg can be identified as witnesses in the 12th and 13th centuries. In the 14th century the Lengenfelder sat on Welchenberg, later the Nussbergs. In 1567 Wilhelm von Nussberg sold the closed Hofmark to Kaspar von Lerchenfeld . Heinrich Lerchenfeld sold them to Pankraz von Pürching. His son Johann died on April 13, 1654.

With a document dated March 8, 1657, Katharina von Pürching, the widow of the lord of the court march, bequeathed her property to the Oberalteich monastery , which built a provost's office in the castle . An engraving by Michael Wening at the beginning of the 18th century depicts the castle at that time, a two-story Renaissance building from around 1600 with wings and corner turrets. Welchenberg was subordinate to the Mitterfels nursing court .

According to the surveys during the abolition of the monastery, Welchenberg had an estate with 45 hectares, as well as a brewery specializing in brown beer and wheat beer. During the secularization of Bavaria in 1803, the provost's office was dissolved and the castle property was sold. Its new owner, Bierbrauer Schmaus, had the lock demolished.

With the formation of the community in 1821 Welchenberg came to the community of Pfelling . While the place Pfelling came to the city of Bogen as part of the regional reform in Bavaria , Welchenberg was incorporated into the municipality of Niederwinkling with other parts of the dissolved municipality according to the ordinance of April 12, 1976 with effect from May 1, 1978.
