economy

Economically today, Wulfen is predominantly touristy thanks to holiday apartments, riding stables and camping sites. In addition, the Fehmarn golf course with 18 holes and a short-hole course with 9 holes were laid out around the recreation area from 1991 onwards, which the Golf Club Fehmarn e. V. houses.

The fishermen in the village of Wulfen have a fishing spot on the Burger Binnensee at a point in front of the dike , which is only operated as a sideline.

history

The former fishing village (formerly also called Wolfen ) is one of the "colonist villages" that were settled before 1230 as part of the eastern colonization.

Stone age graves

The Wulfener Berg (18 m) was originally an important prehistoric burial ground. A large stone grave stood on the salt marshes in front of Wulfen until 1876 . It was destroyed as part of the dike construction. In 2010 a stone-age long bed grave was rebuilt on Wulfener Berg.
