Surrounded by fertile fields and meadows, the charming parish village of Waidhofen lies in the broad, scenic Paartal valley between the Lenbach town of Schrobenhausen and the market town of Hohenwart. As early as the 12th century, there is evidence of a local nobility, likely subordinate to the Count Palatine of Wittelsbach. This nobility is first identified around 1190 in the person of a certain Markwart de Waidhouen, who, together with his sister, donated property to the Benedictine monastery of Scheyern. Around this time, a Grimold de Waidhouen also appears as a witness to a donation to the aforementioned monastery.
