In the 10th and 11th centuries, Bavarian settlers wandered from Nabburg to the east. Weiding was founded before 1270 and is one of the oldest villages of the region.[3] It frequently changed ownership and in 1803, it was finally sold to the Earl of Du Moulin-Eckart to whom it still belongs today.[4]
Weiding is located on a plateau with the mountain Frauenstein to the southwest and the Hüttenbach-valley to the east, with the hamlets Reimermühle, Sägmühle, Andreasthal and Löwenthal.[5]

In 1280 a stone church of St. Nikolaus is mentioned in an urbarium.[7] It was destroyed by the Hussites in the 15th century.[8] The rebuilt church burned down in 1836.[9] The current church was built in 1842 and like the others dedicated to St. Nikolaus.[10] To the parish of Weiding belong also the church St. Laurentius of Schönau and the church St. Michael of Hannesried.[11] 95% of the inhabitants of Weiding are Catholics.[12]
