history

Tombs from prehistoric times in the area around Sülzfeld document the beginnings of settlements from 4000 BC. According to deeds of donation from the Fulda monastery , a Count Mallo is said to have transferred “Sulzifeld” to the monastery in 788. However, there is also a Sulzfeld near Königshofen and a Sülzfeld near Meiningen . There is no definitive evidence as to which place it is. The first documentary mention that clearly refers to this Sülzfeld took place in 1284. The Counts Hermann and Poppo von Henneberg pledged a Henneberg property in Sülzfeld to Konrad von Streufdorf.

In 1353 Sülzfeld came with the Coburg Land by inheritance to the Wettins and was thus part of the Electorate of Saxony from 1485 , from which the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg later emerged. In 1444, in a feudal contract between the sovereigns Margrave Friedrich I and Wilhelm II on the one hand and Wilhelm von Bibra, Barbara von Heßberg and Erhard von Weyers on the other hand, goods were given to Sülzfeld as fiefs.

At the beginning of the Thirty Years' War Sülzfeld had 70 inhabitants, in 1650 25 people still lived in the place. Before the Thirty Years War Peter and Agathe von Redwitz ruled the village. After their death, the feudal estates fell back to the sovereign Duke Johann Casimir von Sachsen-Coburg . Gave the school in Coburg eight yards to fief . Until it was replaced in 1853, the farms had to pay contributions in cash and in kind to maintain the grammar school. In 1857, Sülzfeld had 140 residents who lived in 28 residential buildings. There were also 31 outbuildings. The 18 farmers mainly operated arable farming. In addition, hops and flax were grown.

After the Thirty Years War, Sülzfeld belonged to the church district Gauerstadt , where the school was initially located. In 1711 Sülzfeld founded a school association with Moravia . The place of instruction was changed between the two villages every four years. The community built a new schoolhouse in 1832, which was completed in 1833. In 1894, 21 Sülzfeld students were taught there.

In a referendum on November 30, 1919, a Sülzfeld citizen voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state , 18 voted against. From July 1st, 1920, Sülzfeld belonged to the Free State of Bavaria .

On April 11, 1945, US units were attacked by German machine gun fire from positions in Sülzfeld. American tanks and grenade launchers with phosphorus shells then set Sülzfeld on fire. Nine American and ten German soldiers as well as a refugee couple died in the fighting. Eight properties and the school were destroyed.

From 1945 to 1989, the inner-German border separated the place from its neighboring Thuringian town Bad Colberg .

On January 1, 1972, Sülzfeld was incorporated into Rodach near Coburg. Waldemar Taubmann was the mayor at the time.
