Adlkofen lies only 8 km east of Landshut and south of the valley of the Isar.

:[3] The name Adlkofen was mentioned for the first time as the county of Adalahkevva in a document issued by the Kaiser Otto I shortly before his death in 973 in Merseburg.

He gave with it his personal property in Beutelhausen, which lay in the county of Adlkofen, to Niedermünster Abbey in Regensburg.

In 1687 Wolfstein was handed over to Adlkofen, where it remained under the management of a local magistrate of the district court of Teisbach until 1803.

He oversaw four administrations, named Reichersdorf, Frauenberg, Günzkofen und Hohenegglkofen.
