history

Wülfte can be traced back to the Neuenheerse Monastery since 1248. In the following years, however, it increasingly became a Brilon town village. The village, which was temporarily abandoned in the 15th and 17th centuries, only became an independent municipality in the Thulen district in 1837 .

On August 22, 1998, the Wülfter celebrated their 750th anniversary in the village.

During the Second World War , a burning enemy plane crashed at the Wülfter quarry. From March 26 to 29, 1945 the village was occupied by a transport unit of the Wehrmacht . From March 29th, residents of Wülftes were able to observe units of the US Army on the streets around the village. On Easter Sunday, April 2, 1945, US troops entered the village and moved on after ten days. In the following time there were raids and looting of former prisoners from the Soviet Union.

31 Wülfter died as soldiers in World War II, most of them on the Eastern Front , or died in captivity.

With the municipal reorganization in North Rhine-Westphalia , Wülfte became a district of the city of Brilon on January 1, 1975. 410 inhabitants now live in the rural village at the gates of the city.
