The Sommer family of artists was a Franconian family of sculptors, builders and cabinet makers who lived in Künzelsau in the 17th to 19th centuries and produced works there as well as in Castell , Stetten im Remstal , Weikersheim and other places. The Hirschwirtscheuer Museum in Künzelsau, which is run by the Friends of the Sommer family of artists.
