Schurrle netted his first Wolfsburg goal since joining from Premier League high-flyers Chelsea in February as Dieter Hecking's men accounted for Stuttgart 3-1 in Bundesliga action on Saturday.
The 24-year-old's strike was his first goal in eight league appearances for Wolfsburg, who strengthened their grip on second spot in the standings.
"It was about time I scored. I've missed a lot of chances here and I'm just happy to have hit the target now," Schurrle said afterwards.
"I have to admit that the fact I hadn't scored for such a long time had been eating away at me a bit, so I'm very happy but the most important thing is that we won three points.
"I'd like to say a big thank you to all the fans here to receiving me so well and supporting me. I'm happy to be here and I'm sure we'll have a lot more to celebrate in the future."
Wolfsburg are seven points clear of Borussia Monchengladbach following Saturday's win at Volkswagen Arena.
"We were expecting a difficult game because Stuttgart have good individual players and they're a good team," Schurrle added.
"It's tough against them because they throw everything at you and they really need the points. We were a bit shaky at the back, especially defending crosses - that's how we conceded - but then I think our quality shone through in the second half.
"We put them under pressure and created chances, so I think we deserved to win."
