history

The place is mentioned for the first time in a document from the 11th century as Wolverrothe / Woluerothe . In 1166 he appears as Wolpenderode in a Cologne document. In a Roman document the place is called Wolpinrode on November 18, 1181 . However, the date of the first mention cannot determine the time when the place was created. The majority of place names with the basic word -rath (or -rod, -rode, -gerode for places that were created by clearing) come from a period of intensive land development between 1000 and 1300. Not much can be said about the identifier. Presumably it is a personal name.

A hatchet was found north of Wolperath which is dated to the younger Neolithic . In the 16th century, the Worm family of wool weavers from Siegburg in Wolperath maintained a saddlery .

In 1789 Wolperath formed an honor in the parish of Neunkirchen. From 1806 to 1813 the place belonged to the Grand Duchy of Berg and from 1808 to the Mairie (mayor's office) of Neunkirchen. Within the mayor's office of Neunkirchen, Wolperath belonged to the municipality of Neunkirchen , which in 1969 was merged with the municipality of Seelscheid to form the municipality of Neunkirchen-Seelscheid.
