antiquity

The remains of a Roman manor in the forest between Wolfschlugen and Unterensingen provide evidence of the settlement of the area by the Romans.

middle Ages

In the High Middle Ages the area was in the Duchy of Swabia . Wolfschlugen was first mentioned in a document in 1318. In 1380, Count Eberhard II of Württemberg granted the community village rights. As a result, the settlement developed into a real place. In the late Middle Ages, Wolfschlugen belonged to the Württemberg office of Grötzingen

Early modern age

In 1525 three men from Wolfschlugen who had taken part in the Peasants' War were arrested. At the beginning of the 17th century, around 400 people lived in the village, including around 100 school-age children. In 1603 the Protestant church was completely rebuilt and thus received the shape it still has today. Between 1608 and 1609 the town hall was built by the builders Michel Knell and Jerg Mercklin. The village, like all of Württemberg , suffered greatly from the Thirty Years' War, especially after its defeat in the Battle of Nördlingen . The population decreased significantly and only reached the pre-war level at the beginning of the 18th century. In 1776 the first school house was built on site.

Wolfschlugen in the 19th century

When the new administrative structure was implemented in the Kingdom of Württemberg , which was founded in 1806 , Wolfschlugen remained assigned to the Oberamt Nürtingen , to whose office it had belonged for centuries.

In 1862 the choral society "SV Concordia 1862 Wolfschlugen eV" was founded, and in 1866 the volunteer fire brigade was founded . In 1899 the first telegraph station came to the place.

Wolfschlugen in the 20th century

In 1903 the Wolfschlugen Music Association was founded. There were epochal technical innovations in 1906 with the first telephone connection in the village and in 1914 with the electrical lighting of the community.

During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , the community came to the Nürtingen district in 1938 . In 1945 the place became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. In 1970 the inauguration of the community-owned sports field and the gymnasium and festival hall was celebrated.

When the district of Nürtingen was dissolved in the course of the district reform in Baden-Württemberg , Wolfschlugen was transferred to the Esslingen district in 1973 .

The inauguration of the new sports hall took place in 1993.

The slightly displaced black Z on a yellow background (probably) represents a stylized wolf tang . The symbol of the wolf tang was probably chosen to match the place name. The wolf fishing rod was a device for catching wolves with a double hook to carry the bait. The symbol was used as a forest symbol, as a stonemason's mark and in heraldry .
