According to the wiki, the wolf was extinct in most regions of present-day Germany by the 18th century, but by 2018/19 there were again a total of 105 packs, 25 pairs and 13 territorial individuals in eleven federal states.
All Little Red Riding Hoods: watch out!

"Kaut" = Old German term for: depression, trough or depression (according to the Internet).
