10 km south of Meiningen, nestled in the Bibratal valley, 334 m (village center) above sea level, lies the beautiful old street village of Wölfershausen.

 In a picturesque landscape, the Thuringian Forest to the north, the Rhön to the west and the Grabfeld to the south, which extends into nearby Franconia. The local mountain, the Ahlberg, rises 496 m above sea level in the east.

Wölfershausen is mentioned in documents as early as 825 as "Uulfricheshaus".

Its fields border on the fields of Bibra, Bauerbach, Ritschenhausen and Neubrunn.

The ancient wine route between Thuringia and Franconia also cuts through Wölfershausen. The village used to belong to the county of Henneberg. In the Middle Ages, the village and field tithes were fiefs of Würzburg and at times owned by the Lords of Bibra.

The church was a branch of Ritschenhausen for a long time. Wölfershausen suffered greatly from the countless troop marches during the Thirty Years' War. Many buildings were burnt down and in 1649 the village was "without" people and livestock. Only 4 families were able to escape.

The church was rebuilt in 1750 and its oldest part, the sacristy, dates from the late Gothic period around 1530. The church is on the list of listed churches in Thuringia, as is the baroque organ.

The townscape is characterized by the church and parish hall. The houses of the actual village center are grouped around this ensemble, with the distinctive stone path. The still-functioning bakery has been restored. All that remains of the old well house, not far from the village center, is an arched stone, which has now been fixed above the still bubbling spring together with an iron pump.

In 1996, the stone bridge over which the road to the Hinterdorf leads to the drinking water treatment plant was renewed. Wölfershausen supplies 35 villages with drinking water.

The Wolzogen family, who gave Friedrich Schiller refuge in nearby Bauerbach, originally owned the so-called "little castle" of Wölfershausen. It was later used as a parish house, tithe house, school and teacher's residence. The first teacher is mentioned as early as 1661. Today it is primarily a municipal office, but is also used for residential purposes.

The older houses are built in the Henneberg-Franconian half-timbered style, often plastered over later, and are increasingly being renovated and embellished today. In some cases, the picturesque half-timbering has been made visible again.

A small new-build district was created in the so-called "Rommenei". Many homes have been built here in recent years.

The village inn "Zur Henne", which still exists today, was granted a license by Ernst the Pious in 1674.

Wölfershausen can be reached by bus and train. A train stop was established in 1975. The Meiningen and Erfurt - Würzburg rail connection was re-established in 1991/1992.

The district of Wölfershausen has around 350 inhabitants and a district area of 435 ha.
