Parish Church of St. Peter in Welshofen

After 1098 Welshofen was Wittelsbach's landed property. The village was first mentioned in the ducal land register in 1240. In 1704 the place was almost completely burned by the English and Dutch. In addition to the village of the same name, the villages of Altstetten, Bogenried and Oberhandenzhofen belong to the former municipality and today's district of Welshofen.

On July 1, 1972, in the course of the regional reform in Bavaria, the municipality of Welshofen merged with four other municipalities in the newly formed municipality of Erdweg.
