Wolfschlugen is a town in the district of Esslingen in the Filder Plain in Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany.

History

Wolfschlugen was first mentioned in documents on April 2, 1318 when a local named Benz from Kirchheim unter Teck sold some products of his farm in Wolfschlugen.[3] It is however commonly assumed that people have settled there long before. A strong indication is provided by the close presence of the Waldhauser Schloss, an old Latin estate in a forest nearby Wolfschlugen.[4]

  • 1380 the town became official by a declaration of Eberhard II, Count of Württemberg.
  • 1603 the Protestant church was reconstructed and obtained the shape which still can be seen today.

  • 1903 foundation of the music society.
  • 1906 first telephone connection.
  • 1914 first electrical lights on the streets.
  • 1938 Wolfschlugen became a member of the district of Nürtingen.
