history

Location of the Wolferstetten district based on a survey from 1888

In 1291 Wolferstetten was first mentioned in a document as Wolferstetin . Presumably, the place was created as a kind of development settlement in close connection with Külsheim as early as the Middle Ages. The place always remained small. In the 13th and 14th centuries it came into possession of the monasteries Gerlachsheim and Bronnbach and was probably referred to as such as oppidum (= Vorwerk), because in the year 1321 the Wertheim files mentioned oppidum Wolferstetten .

In the late Middle Ages, court owners were the lords of Riedern and the dogs as feudal people of the Counts of Wertheim . The rear courtyard of the hamlet later belonged to the Würzburg diocese and the Hardheim winery . All rights of rule lay with Külsheim in Electoral Mainz.

At the beginning of the 1960s, the last inhabitants of Wolferstetten relocated or relocated, as the place was bought up by the Federal Republic of Germany and became a military training area for the garrison towns of Külsheim ( Prinz-Eugen-Kaserne ) and Hardheim ( Carl-Schurz-Kaserne ).

religion

In 1706 a court chapel was built in Wolferstetten by Mr. Franz Baumann in honor of St. Francis of Assisi and also consecrated to him. It cannot be determined with certainty whether it was a new building or just a restoration, as a small chapel was mentioned once in 1693.

Wolferstetten was a branch of the Catholic parish of Külsheim. Around 1800 services were rarely held in the court chapel. The residents attended church services in Schweinberg or Külsheim.

The courtyard chapel in Wolferstetten was demolished stone by stone in 1973 and rebuilt true to the original at the Roter Rain residential area in Külsheim.
