Wolfskehlen

Wolfskehlen is an administrative district in the city of Riedstadt in Hesse. The area comprises several residential neighborhoods and sits within the Rhine-Main region with good transport connections.

The first mention dates back to 1002, when King Heinrich II granted rights to the Bishop of Worms in the region. This early documentation shows the long history of settlement in the area.

The name Wolfskehlen comes from a wolf hook, a medieval hunting tool shown in the local coat of arms. This symbol shapes the place's identity and reflects its historic connection to hunting traditions.

The area is easily reached by S-train, especially via the Riedstadt-Wolfskehlen station on the route toward Frankfurt. Visitors should remember this is a residential zone with regular hours and daily life patterns.

Two protected natural monuments shape the area: an old oak tree at the church square and a linden tree where the former train station once stood. These trees show the long relationship between nature and settlement.
