Sülzbach is the north-western part of the municipality of Obersulm in the Heilbronn district in northern Baden-Württemberg .
location
The center of the village is about 4 km east of the town center of Weinsberg in the valley of the middle Sulm running west-north-west , which the Sülzbach flows into from the north . The settlement extends along the right bank of the Sulm. Towards the right slope of the valley, it usually ends at the tracks of the Crailsheim – Heilbronn railway line , which runs along the bottom of the slope. The town center is located in the lower corner of the mouth of the Sülzbach, in its area the newer development extends beyond the railway line to the middle hill. In the upper corner of the mouth, the low spur of the Altenberg stands above the village; its slopes are almost entirely planted with vines because of their south-facing position.
Beyond the Sulm, on the left edge of the floodplain, the valley road B 39 runs from Löwenstein in the direction of Heilbronn , from where the district road 2111 branches off, which crosses the village and then leads north to Wimmental .
history
In the course of the Christianization of the Franconian Empire around the middle of the 8th century, the diocese of Würzburg in Sülzbach set up an original parish for the entire Weinsberger Valley . The place name is documented for the first time in the Öhringer foundation letter from 1037 ("Sulcibach").
Until the middle of the 15th century, the lords of Weinsberg were the dominant landlords in Sülzbach, through Würzburg fiefs , perhaps also through own property . In 1276 Engelhard von Weinsberg settled a dispute between the Lichtenstern monastery and the Sülzbacher Müller. In 1323 the Bishop of Würzburg gave the place as a fief to Conrad IV von Weinsberg . In August 1345, the Weinsbergers donated the Sülzbach church to the Schöntal monastery . Due to growing debt, the Weinsbergers sold further property in Sülzbach in the following decades to various new masters such as Count Palatine Ludwig (1412), Schöntal Monastery (1408; 1447), Count Palatine Otto von Mosbach (1423), Schletz von Hall (1425), Hans von Hemmingen (1438) and Seyfried von Venningen (1440). Shortly before his death, through which the rule Weinsberg came to the Electoral Palatinate, Konrad IX. in 1447 his remaining tithe rights in Sülzbach were transferred to the Schöntal monastery, which in the following years essentially had the say in Sülzbach.
In 1490 the monastery in Sülzbach owned all the essential income as well as the Schöntaler monastery courtyard with 30 acres of arable land and the village press. Other landowners on site were the Heilbronn Klarakloster and the Electoral Palatinate .
Because Württemberg had participated in the Landshut War of Succession on the side of the Bavarian Wittelsbach family , the Weinsberg office and with it Sülzbach fell under Württemberg rule in 1504. In the course of the Peasants' War , Sülzbach was set on fire, along with other villages in the Weinsberger Valley, by order of the criminal court of the Swabian Confederation as punishment for the Weinsberg bloody act of April 14, 1525, on May 21, 1525 - of 41 local farms, 8 houses fell and half thayl "another victim of the fire.
On January 1st, 1975 Sülzbach was incorporated into Obersulm.
coat of arms
The blazon of the Sülzbach coat of arms reads: In silver over a lowered blue wavy bar a blue grape with two green leaves.
The Sülzbach coat of arms was adopted by the municipality in 1939 and goes back to a proposal by the Württemberg archives department from the same year. The grape symbolizes viticulture, the blue wavy bar stands for the second part of the place name. The coat of arms was subsequently awarded to the community on February 22nd, 1963 by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior.
Attractions
- The Protestant Kilian Church is the original church of the Weinsberger Valley, founded towards the end of the 8th century under the influence of Würzburg. The previous wooden church was replaced by a Romanesque stone building around 1150, which was later expanded into a fortified church complex with a fence and converted into a Gothic style in the 14th century. In the substructure of the choir tower there are Romanesque and Gothic stonemason's marks. The church was rebuilt in 1619 by the ducal church builder Friedrich Vischlin in the Renaissance style and in the 17th century it was richly decorated on the inside with scrollwork and fittings and decorative woodwork. The most important art treasure of the church is an entombment group carved in high relief on the altar from around 1480, also noteworthy are the ornate Oettinger epitaph from 1626 attached to the north wall and the masterful, but repair-prone supporting structure of the needle-pointed church tower. The glass painting in the choir window was designed and executed by Christian Heinrich Burckhardt in the Munich workshop in 1895 and shows the crucifixion of Jesus. Kilian's Church belongs to the Protestant parish of Sülzbach in the Weinsberg-Neuenstadt church district of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg . In the churchyard surrounded by a defensive wall there is a copy of the Beheim atonement cross, next to the church there is a baroque rectory .
