The village of Wolfmannshausen is located in the district of Schmalkalden-Meiningen, 18 km south-east of Meiningen. Wolfmannshausen greets you from afar with the spire of the Echterturm tower, which was built in 1616. Aegidius Church his guests.

First mentioned in 956 as a gift from the nobleman Wolmut, to whom Wolfmannshausen probably owes its name, it can look back on a long, varied and extremely interesting history. It will also be of great interest to archaeology enthusiasts in particular that a find made headlines right here in 1996: numerous pottery shards from the Rössner culture (stamped pottery), which can be dated to around 3000 BC, as well as shards of Linear Pottery, which is quite rare in southern Thuringia.

The inhabitants of Wolfmannshausen are predominantly Catholic. As all other villages in the surrounding area are Protestant, Wolfmannshausen was and is often referred to as a Catholic enclave. The reason for this is the sovereignty of the (Catholic) Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg since the Middle Ages. The surrounding villages, on the other hand, belonged to the (Protestant) Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen. Wolfmannshausen only came to Saxony-Meiningen with the state treaty between the Duchies of Würzburg and Saxony-Meiningen in 1808. However, the predominantly Catholic faith has been preserved to this day. It is also worth mentioning that Wolfmannshausen belonged to the diocese of Würzburg even at the time of the German separation.

The Aegidius Church is furnished with a magnificent high altar and a beautiful Madonna figure, which is said to come from the school of Tilman Riemenschneider. Numerous preserved figures of apostles from the old side altars and, above all, the very well restored wall frescoes from the time of its construction give the church its special charm. Six wayside shrines scattered around the village and the Stations of the Cross carved in sandstone in the spacious cemetery invite you to linger and pray.

Halfway between Wolfmannshausen and Queienfeld is the commercial and industrial area "Untere Hellert" with attractive businesses. Due to its size, there is still room for new businesses to settle here.

In 2006, Wolfmannshausen celebrated the 1050th anniversary of its first mention with a successful anniversary celebration. As part of these celebrations, a museum of local history was created in a beautiful half-timbered house, which is now run by a local history association founded following the anniversary celebrations.

The district of Wolfmannshausen has a population of 445 and a municipal area of 804 ha.
