geography
Geographical location
Sulzbach an der Murr is located in the natural area of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains on the north curve of the Murr in the middle of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park between the Löwenstein Mountains and the Murrhardter Forest , about 34 km north-northeast of Stuttgart as the crow flies . The municipal area is between 260 m (Murr at the sewage treatment plant) and 544 m (elevation "Zollstock" at the Eschelhof ).
The official description of the municipality of Sulzbach an der Murr from 1871 begins with these words:
- Where the graceful, freshly green Murrtal gets quite a widening at the confluence of the south-westerly approaching valley of the "Spiegelberger" Lauter and the Fischbach valley coming straight from the north, in the valley floor, which is picturesquely occupied by proud poplar groups, lies the large urban-looking place ...
The municipality has the longest extension with about 9 km from north-north-west (Waldgewann "Streitjagen" near Großerlach -Mittelfischbach) to south-southeast (elevation "Springstein" near Auenwald -Trailhof). It is not quite 8 km perpendicular to this (from Mörderbächle near Siebersbach in the west-south-west to the outskirts of Großerlach-Hohebrach in the east-north-east).
The municipality of Großerlach borders Sulzbach in the north and northeast , the city of Murrhardt in the east and southeast , the municipality of Auenwald in the south and, for a short time, the city of Backnang , in the southwest the municipality of Oppenweiler and in the northwest the municipality of Spiegelberg . They are all also in the Rems-Murr district .
The local government reform in 1970 led to the formation of the local government association Sulzbach, which also includes the municipalities Spiegelberg and Großerlach belong. Sulzbach is also a member of the Murrtal water association . Its task is flood protection.
Community structure
In addition to the main town of Sulzbach, which is surrounded by meadows and vast forests, there are 17 hamlets and houses, some of which are widely scattered: the hamlets of Bartenbach, Berwinkel, Busof, Eschelhof , Eschenstruet, Hager, Harrenberg, Ittenberg , Kleinhöchberg, Lautern , Liemannsklinge , Schleißweiler, Siebersbach and Zwerenberg and the residential areas Gronbachmühle, Hammer and Haselbachmühle, as well as the abandoned villages of Einsiedel, Desert Mühl and Alte Sägmühle.
The Gronbachmühle is located in the Murrtal just above the village boundary of Sulzbach, with Bartenbach and Schleißweiler following further up. Lautern, Siebersbach and at the top Hammer are in the approaching Lautertal. All other districts are far from the three major traffic axes of the upper and lower Murr and Lauter valleys, the bottoms of which are in open corridors. Apart from the Haselbachmühle located in a side valley, there are settlements surrounded by clearing islands on the heights between the deeply cut and also wooded brook valleys to the two rivers.
Kleinhöchberg lies on the ridge between the Lauter tributary Siebersbach and the Fischbach, Berwinkel on the Haselbach valley that flows between Fischbachtal and Bartenbach and which is densely surrounded by forest and houses the Haselbachmühle. Even further east between Haselbach and Harbach, Harrenberg, Zwerenberg, Hager and - at roughly the same latitude - west of the bus station and east of Eschenstruet are lined up in a large field island stretching to the north. A little further north, Liemannsklinge is isolated, separated from the other five by a wooded cross valley.
At the height south of the Murrbogen lies Ittenberg in a larger clearing island, and further south in a smaller one the Eschelhof .

history
Sulzbach, first mentioned in 1225, is located on important road connections that were already in use in Roman times. Sulzbach is therefore probably much older in its origins. Once the place was under the feudal dependence of the neighboring Murrhardt Monastery. The place name is derived from "Sülze" or "Sulz", which means something like "boggy place" or "swampy water". In the local coat of arms , the lion still reminds of the Counts of Löwenstein as the former landlords of the community, the fish of the Fischbach that gave it its name. On a small area threshold west across this creek are flood-proof the oldest parts of the town center with the remains of the former fortified church plant around the striking Ulrich church. In 1504 Sulzbach came under Württemberg sovereignty as part of the County of Löwenstein , but remained the seat of the Sulzbach-Fornsbach office. In 1573, the community received market rights , which are still exercised today in the form of three annual fairs and one weekly market.
Sulzbach in the 16th century
Clerical authorities
Sulzbach's clergy with all rights and duties belonged to Murrhardt Monastery . The church raised a " tithe " for its tasks and asked for foundations.
Secular authorities
The secular authorities were divided between the Murrhardt monastery and the Löwenstein county . The circumstances were therefore a bit confusing.
Murrhardt Monastery was the fiefdom of all old fiefdoms on the Sulzbacher Markung (there were 27 fiefs in 1590, including the village mill) and administered them. Half of the village court in Sulzbach belonged to the monastery. The Murrhardt Monastery demanded various taxes from the Sulzbachers.
Around 1510 the Counts of Löwenstein had to recognize the Duke of Württemberg as overlord and lost their imperial immediacy . But in 1574 they inherited the county of Wertheim, which was immediately part of the Reich . The Duke of Württemberg was the third sovereign of Sulzbach.
Authorities in the village
The two offices of Sulzbach (the upper and the lower office) were represented by a staff member who had his seat in Sulzbach. The chief of staff was appointed by the county. The administrative districts included the lower office with Sulzbach, Lautern, Siebersbach, Kleinhöchberg, Berwinkel, Erlach, Trauzenbach, Kieselhof, Zwerenberg, Bartenbach, Schleißweiler, Siebenknie, Eschelhof, Ittenberg; the upper office Fornsbach, Köchersberg, Mettelberg. Schlossberg and Hinterwestermurr.
Each of these sub-locations was an independent administrative unit within its boundaries and had to take care of its own interests. In addition, their own mayors were elected. The authorities only intervened in the municipal administration when their interests were affected.
The village court in Sulzbach met four times a year. It could handle simple cases on its own.
Sulzbach's vigilante group comprised seven musketeers and 2 tambours (drummers) who were subordinate to Corporal Schneeberger. The constable ( Büchsenschütz ) was under a stone head ( Böllercannon ) on a two-wheeled Wägelein. A drum and a pipe were kept by the Reeber tambour .
Sulzbach since the 18th century
On May 29, 1753, a large fire destroyed two thirds of the existing building stock along with the church and town hall. Only 62 buildings were spared from the fire. In 1756 the new Protestant church is consecrated. Around 50 years later, Sulzbach fell completely to Württemberg due to the Reichsdeputation Hauptschluss. In 1844 Fornsbach was separated. With the sale of Lautereck Castle in 1867, the Counts of Löwenstein gave up their property. In the Kingdom of Württemberg and in the People's State , Sulzbach belonged to the Oberamt Backnang . During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Sulzbach came to the Backnang district in 1938 . From 1945 the community was in the state of Württemberg-Baden in the American zone of occupation and since 1952 in the new state of Baden-Württemberg . After the dissolution of the district of Backnang, the municipality became part of the newly formed Rems-Murr district as part of the district reform in Baden-Württemberg .
The town hall
Because the town hall also fell victim to the great fire of 1753, the construction of a town hall became more and more urgent. When construction began is unknown, but it must have been completed in 1779. The town hall was not far from the church, near the fountain. The street led through the town hall under an archway .
In 1876 the old town hall was demolished in favor of a street renovation due to its unfavorable location.
The church
On a small area threshold west across this creek are flood-proof the oldest parts of the town center with the remains of the former fortified church plant around the distinctive St. Ulrich's Church. After the fire of 1753, the church was rebuilt with the help of a collection and consecrated in 1756. At that time it was essentially given its present shape with the exception of the tower, which was struck by lightning in 1856 and burned out as a result. Before the fire of 1856, the spire was shaped like an onion .
The school system
Around 1797 all branches of Sulzbach already had their own schools, but the teaching post was held by craftsmen and workers. The Sulzbach teacher was paid an annual salary of 463 guilders, and thus ranked second in the entire Duchy of Württemberg . In 1760 130 pupils attended the school, in 1838 230 children were required to attend school.
Religions
A church in Sulzbach is first mentioned in 1295. With the introduction of the Reformation in Württemberg, it became Evangelical-Lutheran . Today's St. Ulrichs Church from 1875 forms the town center and served as a fortified church in the past .
A Roman Catholic church was not rebuilt north of Landesstraße 1066 until after the Second World War . There is also a New Apostolic and an Evangelical Methodist congregation.
