Wolfartsweier is a district of the Baden-Württemberg city of Karlsruhe .

history

Wolfartsweier is first mentioned in 1261 as Wolvoldiswilere . In 1535 Wolfartsweier fell to the margraviate of Baden-Durlach. At the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648, only seven (male adult) residents are said to have been alive in Wolfartsweier, of whom Siebenmannstrasse in Oberdorf commemorates. The community grew to 370 inhabitants in 1837 and 506 inhabitants in 1901. From 1907 to 1971 Dynamit Nobel AG (Genschow) operated an ammunition factory in the Zündhütle area. The outdoor pool was opened in 1935. Wolfartsweier was incorporated into the city of Karlsruhe on January 1, 1973. In 2015, a gas explosion in an eight-family house, in which four people died, caused a stir. In the 2019 local council election, the SPD achieved an absolute majority with 59.6 percent.
