Wohlfahrt's claim for fame is that his former restaurant, Schwarzwaldstube in Baiersbronn-Tonbach (Baden-Württemberg), has maintained three stars for 25 consecutive years under his leadership, a record in Germany.

Wohlfahrt is credited with training six of the other nine German chefs awarded three-stars in the "Guide Michelin 2013 - Deutschland".

[1] In 2017, Wohlfahrt was expected to hand over the head chef position at Hotel Traube Tonbach to Torsten Michel.

As part of the succession plan, Wohlfahrt was supposed to assume the newly formed position of "Culinary Director" for the entire Hotel Traube Tonbach.

In this executive position, top chef Wohlfahrt had neither an operative role in the restaurant nor any opportunity to further develop the culinary arts.
