The Wolfsbrunnen-Anlage was built as a hunting and pleasure house under Elector Friedrich II. It got its romantic charisma under Frederick V., who married the English princess Elisabeth Stuart and had the Wolf Fountain complex extended by several trout pools.
In the 17th century the electoral princes decided to move their electoral residence to Mannheim and Schwetzingen, as a result of which the Wolf Fountain complex lost its importance. Ongoing military conflicts finally put it into a deep sleep, although its use as a hunting lodge and inn was never completely abandoned. For many romantics the Wolfbrunnen complex was a popular and much sought-after destination around 1800. No matter whether they lived in Heidelberg or visited the city. Some of the Wolf Fountain was also immortalized in literary works.
It was then awakened from its slumber in 2015 when the Wolfsbrunnen restaurant was opened, which has been providing its guests with seasonal delicacies ever since.
