Wülfrath, Urban municipality in Mettmann district, Germany.
Wülfrath extends over 32 square kilometers of land between the Rhine, Ruhr, and Wupper rivers in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The settlement emerged around 713 AD when a settler named Wolf established a clearing, leading to the name Wolverothe documented around 1100.
The annual Potato Fair in September and Duke William's Market in November bring residents together to celebrate local traditions and seasonal products.
The town provides educational facilities from primary level through high school, including Grundschule Ellenbeek and Städtisches Gymnasium for local students.
The municipal coat of arms depicts a medieval shepherd defending against a wolf, representing the etymological connection to the town's name.
