Soden is a parish village and part of the market Sulzbach am Main in the Miltenberg district and is located between Leidersbach and the Schweinheim district of the independent city of Aschaffenburg .

history

The Spessart -Dorf Soden was mentioned for the first time in 1248 in the so-called Koppelfutterverzeichnis , from which it emerges that a community already existed that had to pay the taxes. The place was probably founded around the year 800, the oldest finds even date from the Stone Age.

The place name is derived from the Middle High German term sot (for source or well). There is a mineral-rich spring in the village that was used to extract salt and from which the population draws water. The oldest evidence of salt production in Soden dates back to 1456 and this form of spring use lasted for about 300 years. In 1856 a spa was opened. The place name was changed to Bad Sodenthal (to differentiate it from Bad Soden ) at that time . The bathing business ended after the First World War and the place became Soden again , although the health resort kept its name Sodenthal . The spa buildings then served as the city of Frankfurt am Main 's children's spa , now an educational facility . In the 19th century, Soden was known not only for its mineral springs, but also for its viticulture. The quality of the Soden wine was equated with that of the Hörsteiner.

At the time of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt, Soden was in the area of ​​the Districtsmairie Kleinwallstadt (the former Kurmainzischen Amtsvogtei Kleinwallstadt) in the department of Aschaffenburg and counted 400 inhabitants (souls) at 76 fire places. Mayor was Wilhelm Zobel; Adjuncts Johann Adam Spieler and Johann Adam Langenberger.

As a result of the Paris Treaty of June 3, 1814, Soden came to Bavaria with the Districtsmairie Kleinwallstadt on June 26, 1814, where it was the territory of the District Court III. Classe Kleinwallstadt was assigned and came with this to the district court of Obernburg.

In 1862 the district office of Obernburg was formed, on whose administrative area Soden was located. As everywhere in the German Reich , the term district was introduced in 1939. Soden was now one of the 35 municipalities in the district of Obernburg am Main (license plate OBB ). With the dissolution of the district of Obernburg, Soden became part of the newly formed district of Miltenberg (license plate MIL ).

Soden was incorporated into Sulzbach am Main on July 1, 1972. The population is around 1300.

Sports

Soden Park

In Soden, located in the Sulzbachtal, a spa was opened in 1856 with mineral springs from which salt was extracted centuries earlier. Bad Sodenthal experienced its heyday under Dr. Albert Hoffa at the end of the 19th century. However, the health resort did not survive the adversities of the First World War. The city of Frankfurt bought the buildings and facilities in 1917 and turned them into a children's spa. The home closed in 1983 and the Sodenthaler Mineralbrunnen company bought the entire complex as a protected area for its springs. From 1985 to 1998 the former Kurhaus housed an educational facility with boarding school for girls who were not yet ready for work. Since 1998 the house has been used as a school building for a Montessori school with elementary and secondary school, which now includes grades 1-10.

With an annual open-air weekend in Sodener Park, Markt Sulzbach a.Main presents another cultural highlight.
