Wolfenhausen is a village (Ortsteil) of the municipality of Weilmünster in the district of Limburg-Weilburg in central Hesse.

[1] Wolfenhausen is located in the eastern Hintertaunus in the Taunus Nature Park, at an altitude of 300 metres above sea level, approx.

Neighbouring villages are Münster (to the west), Langhecke (to the north-west), Laubuseschbach (to the north-east) and Haintchen (to the south).

A document dated 14 November 1570 reports on an exchange of serfs in Wolfenhausen between the County of Wied-Runkel and Nassau-Saarbrücken.

The Thirty Years' War had a devastating impact on Wolfenhausen, as it did on the neighbouring villages in the Hintertaunus region.

By government decree of the Count of Wied-Runkel in 1691, Wolfenhausen was separated from the mother church of Münster and elevated to a parish.

In the course of the territorial reform in Hesse, on 31 December 1970 the former market town of Weilmünster in the Oberlahn district merged voluntarily with the previously independent municipalities of Aulenhausen, Dietenhausen, Ernsthausen, Laimbach, Langenbach, Laubuseschbach, Lützendorf, Möttau, Rohnstadt and Wolfenhausen to form the new enlarged municipality of Weilmünster.
