history

Early Middle Ages and the Counts of Sulzbach

Sulzbach district

For a long time 1024 was considered the date of the city's foundation: According to legend, Count Gebhard quenched his thirst at one of the numerous springs at the foot of the castle rock after a hunting accident and decided to found a city here.

Archaeological excavations from 1992 to 2004 show a settlement that goes back to the early 8th century. According to the results of the excavations in the Upper and Lower Castle, Sulzbach Castle was one of the political centers of the "Baier" Nordgau region as early as the 9th century . Today's city developed from the early medieval bailey and late medieval city extensions, while the "Ur-Sulzbach" of the early Middle Ages was in the lowland of the brook and referred to the curtes (courtyards) belonging to the castle.

The first stone buildings and stone fortifications were built at Sulzbach Castle as early as the Carolingian era , including the castle church (around 800), which is still largely preserved today as part of the so-called chapel building in the Upper Castle, and a 22 m long stone hall. Next to the castle church, brick sarcophagus graves from the 9th and 10th centuries were discovered under a second (memorial) church. The oldest grave of the 9th century contained the remains of a man over 70 years old, who could be the ( Nordgau ) Count Ernst , who died in 865 . This was one of the most influential Bavarian nobles under Ludwig the German . In the 10th century the castle was probably the “headquarters” and partly burial place of the Counts “von Schweinfurt” , but they were only named after Schweinfurt from 1033 and until around 1003 obviously had an important point of reference in Sulzbach for their family consciousness. Probably after the so-called Schweinfurt feud of August 1003, the Sulzbach castle was alienated from this family by King Heinrich II and passed to the Counts of Sulzbach , who had their ancestral castle here until 1188. The archaeologically recorded buildings for the 11th and 12th centuries also demonstrate the highest level of living culture and comfort, among other things through elaborate heating systems within other stone buildings. The Sulzbach counts were among the most important families of the Salian and Early Staufer empires. Count Berengar II of Sulzbach was instrumental in the overthrow Emperor Henry IV. And the appointment of his son Henry V involved. He was one of Heinrich V's most important advisors. His children married into the highest circles: Gertrud von Sulzbach became the wife of King Conrad III. German Queen, Luitgart von Sulzbach was Duchess of Lower Lorraine , Gebhard III. von Sulzbach was married to the Bavarian duke's daughter Mathilde and Bertha von Sulzbach became the wife of Manuel I Komnenos, Empress of Ostrom ( Byzantine Empire ). After the Sulzbach counts died out in 1188, the castle and town came to the counts of Hirschberg-Grögling via the female line and finally to the Wittelsbach dukes in 1305 .

Sulzbach under Emperor Charles IV.

The castle and town regained great importance as the capital of New Bohemia between 1353 and 1373 under Charles IV , who married Anna, the daughter of Count Palatine Rudolf in 1349 . As in the early and high Middle Ages, the castle and town benefited from their convenient location on the so-called Golden Road from Nuremberg to Prague as well as the rich mineral resources ( iron ore ).

Charles IV did a great job for the city. For at least 89 days he issued documents at Sulzbach Castle, which thus assumed the function of a palatinate . The fact that the emperor never stayed at the castle is a modern invention of local tradition. Charles IV had a new church built and the castle expanded, enriched the hospital and promoted mining . But his son Wenzel pledged the county to Bavaria. Due to the Landshut War of Succession , it went to the Palatinate Wittelsbacher in 1505.

Sulzbach under the Palatinate Wittelsbach family

After the death of the last elector from the so-called "older Kurlinie", Elector Ottheinrich , in 1559 it came to the Palatinate-Zweibrücken family . Duke Wolfgang von Pfalz-Zweibrücken determined in his will that his youngest son should inherit the Upper Palatinate . So Sulzbach came in 1582 as a principality to the Wittelsbacher Ottheinrich II of the Palatinate , Count Palatine of Neuburg. After Ottheinrich's death, the principality came to his brother Philipp Ludwig . His second son August became the head of the Palatinate-Sulzbach family. With Elector Karl Theodor , the Sulzbach line of the House of Wittelsbach expired. The palace was last inhabited by the Countess Palatine Franziska Maria Dorothea (mother of Maximilian I Joseph , the first Bavarian king).

Sulzbach experienced another heyday under the Palatinate line of the House of Wittelsbach. After 1504 it belonged to the "Young Palatinate " Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg , from 1656 to 1790 the city was the capital of the Principality of Palatinate-Sulzbach , which in turn emerged from the Palatinate-Neuburgian rule of Sulzbach formed in 1614. The Count Palatine Christian August , who had ruled since 1644 , introduced the Simultaneum in 1652 , the almost unique equality of Catholics and Lutherans in Germany at the time.

The nearby Annaberg , to which an avenue with cross stations leads up and on the summit of which Christian August had a chapel consecrated to St. Anne built in 1656 to commemorate his transition to the Catholic Church, offers a comprehensive view of the Fichtel Mountains and the Bohemian Forest .

Under Christian August's rule, which lasted until 1708, the small residence became a cultural center of European standing. He also granted the Jews extensive freedom of belief and equal rights. While no Jews had lived in neighboring areas since the Middle Ages or Jewish residents were expelled in the 17th century, important Jewish communities were able to form anew in Sulzbach and other parts of the principality (Raft, Weiden). Sulzbach advanced to become one of the most important Jewish printing locations in Europe and remained so into the 19th century. In 1729 a magnificent avenue of lime trees was laid out on the city wall. In 1791 the elector Karl Theodor dissolved the seat of government with residence in Sulzbach. The principality came to the Bavarian province of Upper Palatinate .

Sulzbach in the 19th century

In 1807 the royal palace was bought into the possession of the commercial councilor Johann Esaias von Seidel . He saved it from decay and founded the "Calendar for Catholic Christians". In 1822 a devastating city fire reduced a third of the old town to rubble and ashes. In 1850 Sulzbach received a garrison from the Bavarian army . In 1859 the age of the railway entered the city with the opening of the Eastern Railway from Nuremberg to Regensburg. In 1862 the castle returned to state ownership and became a women's prison. Around 1900 the city received electricity and a central water supply.

The Jewish community in Sulzbach

synagogue

At the beginning of the 19th century, around 350 Jews lived in the city of Sulzbach, which corresponds to a share of around 15 percent with a population of around 2,300. The Synagogue of Sulzbach, which was rebuilt in the classical style after the city fire of 1822, is one of the most beautiful in Bavaria. From the 1850s onwards, numerous Jews emigrated from Bavaria, and thus also from Sulzbach, because the Bavarian government restricted the freedom of settlement and trade for Jewish residents. Even when these restrictions were abolished again in 1861 and Jews were also given equal rights in Bavaria, the emigration of Jews from Sulzbach continued. Now economic reasons were decisive and larger, industrially up-and-coming cities such as Nuremberg or Amberg were the goals of the emigrants. In 1875, the town of Sulzbach, with a population of 4,200, had 164, in 1890 101 inhabitants of the Mosaic Confession (out of 5,000) and by 1925 the Jewish population of the city had shrunk to 17 and by 1933 to nine. According to the memories of the Jewish contemporary witness Charlotte Stein-Pick , anti-Semitism was not felt in Sulzbach during the Weimar period . The last Jews enjoyed respect from their fellow Christian citizens. Under the pressure of the anti-Jewish policies of the National Socialist regime, the last Sulzbach Jews left the city by 1937, mostly for the USA. In 1936 the Israelite community dissolved. The synagogue was sold to the city, which set up a museum there. After the war, the city administration had to give up the old church. As the synagogue was no longer needed for religious purposes, it was sold to private individuals by the trust organization JRSO in the early 1950s. The Jewish cemetery was established in 1668.

Cenotaph over Rosenberg

20th century

Fusion of Sulzbach and Rosenberg

The development of the city was shaped by mining and steel production, which for a long time fed the majority of the population. Above all, the Maxhütte steelworks founded in 1853 in neighboring Rosenberg brought an economic upswing. In 1934, under pressure from the National Socialists (particularly from the NSDAP district leader Paul Arendt), the mining and smelting community of Rosenberg merged with the city of Sulzbach; In 1935, with the forced incorporation of the community of Großalbershof, the 10,000-inhabitant mark was exceeded.

the post war period

Towards the end of the Second World War , the city was the target of low-level aircraft attacks ; the occupation on April 22, 1945 was preceded by grenade fire by American artillery. Around 20 people were killed as a result of the war and around 20 buildings were damaged. The Maxhütte did not suffer any war damage. It was only closed for a short time after the war. The US military government for the Sulzbach-Rosenberg district feared the economic ruin of the district in the event of closure. From 1946, the Maxhütte gradually resumed operations - initially under American supervision. More than 5,000 displaced persons came to Sulzbach-Rosenberg, a city of 11,000 people, after the war.

Due to the amalgamation of the districts of Amberg and Sulzbach-Rosenberg as part of the Bavarian regional reform , the city lost important authorities on July 1, 1972 ( District Office , District Court , Compensation Office , Health Office , Veterinary Office , Agriculture Office and Education Office ). The loss of around 1,000 jobs due to the decline of mining and the closure of the last Eichelberg ore mine (1977) and the end of steel production brought about further dramatic changes . 1987 saw the first bankruptcy of Maxhütte (steel production), which was the only large company in Sulzbach-Rosenberg to offer 7,500 jobs at its peak. The second bankruptcy, which resulted in the final closure in 2002, then marked the end of the historically important steel industry in northeast Bavaria. However, the outsourced Rohrwerk Maxhütte is still operating profitably.

The city tried to compensate for new jobs by setting up new businesses. The development of new industrial and commercial areas attracted many companies, including embossing foils Kurz and Stahlgruber.

Incorporations

On March 31, 1935, the previously independent community of Großalbershof was incorporated. On January 1, 1972, parts of the dissolved municipality of Trondorf were added, and on July 1, 1972, the dissolved municipality of Kötzersricht was added. Parts of the area of ​​Röckenricht followed on January 1, 1978, and of Angfeld and Poppenricht on May 1, 1978. On January 1, 1992, the dissolved municipality-free areas of Obere and Untere Wagensaß were added to the urban area.

Population development

In the 1990s, the population increased, thanks in part to the influx of repatriates , who now make up almost 15% of the population. However, the number of inhabitants fell again by 2013, probably also due to the effects of the closure of the Maxhütte . There was a slight increase in 2014 and a stronger increase in 2015.

Between 1988 and 2018, the city grew from 18,134 to 19,414 by 1,280 inhabitants or 7.1%.

town hall

After the local elections on March 15, 2020 , the city council has only 24 members because the population fell below the limit of 20,000; in the 2014–2020 electoral period there were 30 members. The turnout was 50.08%, which is slightly higher than the 2014 election (49.2%). The choice brought the following result:

Declaration of coat of arms: The Sulzbach city coat of arms is said to be a coat of arms image of the old Counts of Kastl-Sulzbach , which is said to have been awarded to the city by Count Berengar I of Sulzbach (around 1080-1125). In 1938 it took over the "twin town" Sulzbach-Rosenberg created four years earlier as a national emblem. The Rosenberg municipal coat of arms from 1927, which showed a heraldic stylized rose on a mountain as well as the mining symbols mallet and iron (“A red heraldic rose growing out of a green three-mountain growing in silver with golden lugs on a long green stem with two side leaves, covered with mallets and iron in natural colors. ”- shield with symmetrical recesses and scrollwork), was omitted without replacement.

Culture and sights

Christ Church
The Weißbeckhaus , an example of middle-class housing in the Middle Ages
Maxhütte

As one of the centers of mining and its metal industry in Upper Palatinate , Sulzbach-Rosenberg is an important junction on the Bavarian Iron Road . A special Sulzbacher mining path has also been set up here, showing some open-cast mines, an exhibition tunnel and the earlier ore processing.

Museums

City Museum Sulzbach-Rosenberg

In terms of the number of exhibits and the scientific preparation, the Sulzbach-Rosenberg City Museum is not only unusual for the size of the city. It is housed in a historic farm bourgeois house, the oldest parts of which date back to the middle of the 14th century - the city expansion under Emperor Charles IV. The wall paintings in the passage date from around 1600. The owner at that time was the district judge Hans von Freudenberg. The tradition of mining and iron processing from the hammer lords of the Middle Ages to the Maxhütte takes up a lot of space. For example, a section of a tunnel has been built in the basement. But also the history of Sulzbach Castle, the city of Sulzbach as a residence and as a printing location of supraregional importance are clearly presented. The museum is also part of the North Bavarian Industriestrasse .

First Bavarian school museum

Rosenberg district, school museum

In 1979 a school museum was opened in the Rosenberg district as the first museum of its kind in Bavaria . In three simulated classrooms from the epochs around 1870, 1920 and 1950 there are extensive photo exhibitions as well as depictions on the development of writing, vocational schools, the history of pedagogy, teaching life and the development of textbooks in Bavaria. In front of the school museum there is a school and teaching garden with over eighty indigenous plants, shrubs and trees that are signposted.

Pharmacy Museum

Since October 2015, the “Alte Hof-Apotheke” museum with its twelve rooms on 120 square meters and a pharmacy garden with medicinal plants has been on view on the market square between the Residenzschloss and the town hall. Numerous pharmaceutical devices and vessels as well as recipes and manuscripts are on display, as well as a material chamber and a medicine cellar.

Buildings

  • Sulzbach Castle (preserved, still upright components from the 9th century, fortification walls, castle church, hall buildings, which are no longer readily recognizable in the existing building stock of the castle). The castle was archaeologically examined from 1993 to 2000 by the Regensburg Archaeological Branch of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation.
  • Rosenberg castle stables , remains of it are on the Schloßberg, which were built over by the war memorial for the fallen of the First World War
  • Gothic town hall
  • Historical old city
  • The Egloffsteiner Palais , a Gothic aristocratic residence from the 15th century
  • Catholic parish church St. Marien
  • Evangelical Christ Church by Gustav Gsaenger : The Christ Church is an example of the sacred architecture of post-war modernism and was built by Gustav Gsaenger as one of its most important representatives.
  • The historical Synagogue of Sulzbach, which survived the November pogroms of 1938 because it was then used as a local museum and is now being renovated as a meeting center. In 1913 it was considered one of the most beautiful synagogues in Bavaria, perhaps even in Germany .
  • Pilgrimage Church of St. Anna (festival week around July 26th)
Maxhütte Sulzbach-Rosenberg in April 2011
  • Integrated steelworks and smelting works of the Neue Maxhütte : With the ensemble of the Maxhütte, the city of Sulzbach-Rosenberg has a unique industrial-historical monument whose roots go back well into the 19th century. The outstanding importance of the plant results, among other things, from the fact that there are two of the world's most powerful piston steam engines, the only OBM converters still in existence in Germany (see: steel ) and there is still a blast furnace with a set bucket coating. In addition, the Maxhütte, the last plant of its kind, allowed the demonstration of the entire production process from iron ore to the finished steel profile in a relatively small space until it was shut down in September 2002.

Culture

Knorr-von-Rosenroth Society

Following on from the Sulzbacher Musenhof around Duke Christian-August , the focus of which was Christian Knorr von Rosenroth , the "International Christian Knorr von Rosenroth Society" was founded in Sulzbach-Rosenberg in March 1990, and since 1991 the annual magazine " Morgen- Glantz ”publishes. Since July 2007 the "Knorr von Rosenroth Festival" has been taking place in Sulzbach-Rosenberg, the focus of which is the new performance of a play by Christian Knorr von Rosenroth.

Historical print shop JE v. Seidel

Sulzbach Rosenberg has long been a major printing and publishing location. In 2006, an intensive scientific inventory and investigation began of the extensive, nationally significant estate of the publishing house and the printing house of Johann Esaias von Seidel , which includes the publishing house archive and the publishing house library from the 17th to the 20th century. The first results were published in 2008.

The discovery of the picture story Der Kuchenteig by Wilhelm Busch , which represents a previously unknown preliminary study for “ Max and Moritz ”, was rated as a sensation . This was published in 2010 by Insel-Verlag . The further development of the estate is still ongoing. The expansion of the premises of the Seidel print shop into an exhibition center and event hall began in 2010 and was completed in April 2011 with a festive opening as the Seidel hall . Financing came from LEADER funds, donations and voluntary contributions by the city's population.
