Wolfshain was founded as a Wendish settlement at the beginning of the 12th century . In 1377 the place was first mentioned in a document as "Wolffshain". A manor has been known since 1497. The German place name means something like "Held forest in which wolves stay". The Sorbian-speaking place name "Śisej" means " shitberry bush " and was first mentioned in 1751 as "Shißej". Ernst Eichler derives the Sorbian name from the Lower Sorbian word for yew . These shrubs used to be widespread in the region. The manor house in Wolfshain dates back to the 17th century and was the residence of the von Poncet family .
From 1843 was in Wolfshain in the coal mine "Julius" brown coal mined. This lignite was used by the brickworks in the village and the surrounding glassworks . In 1847 Wolfshain was connected to the road network with the construction of the road from Spremberg to Bad Muskau (today's Bundesstrasse 156). In 1880 the Weißwasser – Forst railway line was built, which also ran through the Wolfshain district. The place had a breakpoint at 9.23 km . In 1996 the line was closed.
Wolfshain has a multi-purpose hall and a youth club , the latter was founded in 1977. There has been a volunteer fire brigade since 1908 . Wolfshain is surrounded by several fishing lakes .
Wolfshain is located in the historic Sorbian settlement area. Until the first half of the 19th century, Sorbian was predominantly spoken in Wolfshain. In the 1880s, mostly only the adults spoke Sorbian, as the children only speak German, mainly due to schooling. For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Lusatia, Arnošt Muka counted a total of 257 inhabitants in 1884, of which only 30 (12%) spoke Sorbian. The place no longer appears in Ernst Tschernik's statistics from 1956.
