"As early as 1320, the place southeast of Hummelshain was referred to as "Welke" in a Naumburg document. The name Welkerode can be traced back to a clearing that was created in the Welke. The part of the name Welke in turn probably comes from the Slavic word for wolf. The The town itself was plundered and destroyed several times during the Thirty Years' War. The residents - men, women and children all died of the plague. Only the priest remained alive and went to Lichtenau.
