Johannes Wülfing (born December 25, 1683 in Elberfeld ; † 1763 there ) was Mayor of Elberfeld.
Wülfing was born as the son of Johannes Wülfing the Elder (1649–1723) and Gertrud Hüls (1662–1735) as the second of eleven children. He was baptized on January 2, 1684. Wülfing the Younger became a merchant at court. After he was first proposed to mayor in 1718, he was elected the following year. After his one year term of office, he was city judge in 1720. In the years 1722-1725, 1731-1736 and again in 1739 he was a councilor of Elberfeld.
Wülfing married Anna Katharina Schlösser (1685–1743), daughter of Johannes Schlösser, the mayor from 1685 and 1706 on August 15, 1711. The couple had nine children, all of whom died as small children. Through his wife, Wülfing acquired rights to the Varresbeck manor , which he bought in 1742 by paying off his wife's co-heirs. In his house on the Hofkamp he accommodated the Elector Karl Theodor in 1747 and the Hereditary Prince Ferdinand of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel in 1762 . Since Wülfing's children all died very early, his brother Anton Wülfing became the heir of the entire fortune. Johannes Wülfing died in 1763 and was buried on October 3rd.
