Wurzelbauer est un cratère de 88 Km situé sur le plateau continental. Il est co-jointif avec le cratère Gauricus (79 Km) sur son mur oriental. La muraille de Wurzelbauer est très érodée, presque inexistante, surtout au Sud-ouest, portant le trio Wurzelbauer Z N & W au Nord, Wurzelbauer B au Sud-est et Wurzelbauer A au Sud. Le fond est plat à l’est avec une fissure. Ailleurs le plancher est très torturé avec des lignes de crêtes orientées Nord-sud.

Wurzelbauer is the remnant of a lunar crater. It is located in the rugged terrain on the Moon's southern hemisphere. The slightly smaller Gauricus crater lies next to the eastern rim, while to the north-northeast is the Pitatus crater.
The rim of this crater has been deeply eroded, and now forms a low, somewhat irregular ridge around the interior floor. Along the southeastern rim is the 'Wurzelbauer B' crater, while 'Wurzelbauer A' is nearly attached to the southern rim. A short chain of craters lies across the northern rim.
The western half of the interior floor is somewhat more irregular than in the east, with a complex of low ridges covering parts of the surface. The western edge of the floor is marked by a section of the ray system radiating from Tycho crater to the south-southeast.
