patrimony in northern Germany.

Welf was a patron of churches. He was buried in the Premonstratensian monastery that he founded, Steingaden Abbey in Bavaria, where his son had also been buried, while most of the other early Guelphs are buried in Weingarten Abbey. He was the patron of the Historia Welforum, the first medieval chronicle of his dynasty.
