history

Wolfershausen was first mentioned in a document from the Fulda monastery in 1061 , when Abbot Widerad von Eppenstein exchanged an estate in the county of Maden for a noble gentleman Irmfried and his wife and handed this homestead over to the Haydau monastery . Wolfeshuson , Hebel and Hesslar belonged to this exchange .

The local noble lords of Wolfershausen , who resided in Wolfershausen Castle , a small castle on the site of today's church, were feudal men of the Archbishopric of Mainz ; the tithe they had to the St. Peter's pen in Fritzlar paid. Their coat of arms dates from 1259 and contains a wolf running to the ( heraldic ) right at the top and three rings in the lower part; the rings indicate Rengshausen , the origin of the family.

In 1232 Landgrave Konrad von Thuringia , governor of the Ludowingers in Hesse, moved against Fritzlar. Heiligenburg Castle, defended by the Lords of Wolfershausen , was destroyed in the process. Archbishop Siegfried III. von Mainz ordered the reconstruction. This decision let the Lords of Wolfershausen overflow to landgrave. The Mainz reaction brought them great losses. As the story progressed, they fought one side or the other, depending on what seemed more favorable to them. In 1273 their castle was completely destroyed by troops from Fritzlar in Mainz and was not rebuilt afterwards.

In 1465, the Breitenau monastery acquired patronage over the church from the Lords of Löwenstein . In 1555 the place belonged to the landgrave's office Felsberg , from 1585 to the office of Kassel .

By a short, by the Eder diagonally intersecting weir-fed mill race driven, once stately mill in the northeast of the village, at least since the early 18th century by the miller operated dynasty Sommerlade.

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipalities of Altenbrunslar and Neuenbrunslar merged to form the municipality of Brunslar on February 1, 1971 . On December 31, 1971, the Wolfershausen community joined the Brunslar community. On 1 January 1974, the municipality Brunslar with the communities was Gensungen , helmet Hausen , Hilgershausen and Rhünda and the City Felsberg to advanced city Felsberg together . Local districts were established for all incorporated, formerly independent communities .
