The wolf is spreading again in Europe! After the opening of the border installations of the "Iron Curtain" between East and West in the early 1990s, wolves are spreading again in Europe! When looking for a new territory, the wolf wanders up to 1,000 kilometers. After returning from Eastern Europe via Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt and most of the western federal states and successfully breeding, individual animals have now been confirmed in Rhineland-Palatinate. Wolves are extremely adaptable and once roamed the entire northern hemisphere. They do not need quiet large protected areas or national parks that are untouched by human use such as agriculture, forestry or hunting. Wolves were widespread in Europe, including during the lifetime of Count Georg Johannes (1543-1592). Due to direct human persecution, they were pushed back in large parts. Around 1850, Germany was considered wolf-free, but individual wolves were repeatedly killed at the beginning of the 20th century. The last documented wolf shooting in Rhineland-Palatinate took place in 1888 near Prüm. The wolf plays an important role in the forest ecosystem as it helps to regulate the wild population. Basically, the fear of wolves is unfounded. The wolf is shy by nature and avoids humans. Due to their particularly good senses, they notice people early and run away. Source: text information board

"... In the year 2000, the return of the wolf to Germany began with the settlement of a pack in Saxony. Since then, the wolf has spread throughout Germany. The German population is generally positive about it, while parts of the rural population view it with concern and fear . Keepers of grazing animals in wolf areas are particularly affected. ..."
