The Wolfhardt ancestry can be traced into the middle ages on both the
Wolfhardt line and the lines of the women they married. They were a
learned family for the period in which they lived and would still be
considered so in this modern day. They studied at the universities in
Heidelberg, Tuebingen, and Wuerzburg, and the men were professionals
holding positions as mayors, bailiffs, judges, pastors, abbots, and even
one chief captain in the imperial army.

The WOLFHARDT, WOLFAHRT, WOLFHART family was composed of theologians and
other learned men. A Conrad Wolfahrt, a famous philologist and historian,
was born in Rufach in Alsace and died as a deacan in Basel in 1561. The
city of Hanover, also, had a famous theologian of the Wolfahrt name. This
name goes back into dark antiquity in the records of Germany.
