history
The first documentary mention dates from 1449, the place name is already being written as it is today. Wolfsgrund has been parish to Dorfchemnitz since the Reformation in 1539.
The first records of iron stone pits near Wolfsgrund date from 1439, and there were numerous locations of Kauen . The earliest mining settlements are said to have been near the deer pond on the Chemnitzbach . Small hammer mills with melting furnaces are also said to have existed here.

Their number is 80 is 85. [...] Below the village are the ruins of the Dorfchemnitz lime kiln, and on the brook [...] you can find Schörl and Magneteisenstein steps, as well as numerous traces of former mining. "
The Voigtsdorf manor with Voigtsdorf and Wolfsgrund belonged as an exclave to the office of Wolkenstein until 1832 . Only then was it incorporated into the Freiberg district office .
