The Sünser Spitze is a summit in the Damüls Mountains of the Bregenz Forest Mountains in Vorarlberg . The summit is 2,061 meters high and lies on the municipal boundary of Mellau in the rear of the Bregenzerwald and the city of Dornbirn - making it the highest point in the municipality of the largest city in the state.

The Sünser See lies at the foot of the Sünserspitze . The mountain peaks and the lake can be reached via marked hiking trails.

In the first official map from 1857, the Sünser Spitze is referred to as the Fallelei Joch . In later maps the summit is no longer identified by name, it has only appeared with the name used today since the version of the ÖK50 from 1961–1974, but initially with an altitude of 2062 m. In the Alpine Club Guide by Walther Flaig , the summit is referred to by his Walser name Sünser Blanken .

Word meaning

There is no reliable derivation of the origin from the word “Süns”. Josef Zösmair derives it from a personal name (Germ.) "Sunno". He also mentions the Roman family name Sunius as a possible derivation. Around 400 A.D. There was also a Sunno , Duke of the Franks, and he also refers to Sinzheim in Baden , which was called "Sumes" or "Sunnesheim" in 1261 and also to the fact that "Sinz" is a name that is still in use in Vorarlberg .

The term "Suniu" ( Old High German for son, Gothic : Sunus (Sunau)), as it was used in the document of 1403 for the Alpe Süns, can also indicate this root.
