history

The oldest surviving mention, as Sumerlachen in an inventory of the monastery Rupertsberg near Bingen , dates from 1158. The name originally referred to a damp hollow. Therefore, the place has nothing to do with a hole of summer , even though it was visited by media representatives during the summer pickle time due to its name. The oldest written evidence of viticulture in the region also comes from Sommerloch : A list of goods from the Lords of Weyerbach names a wingert in Summerlachen .

The place belonged to the Dalberg lordship . This was initially held by the noble von Weyerbach family as a fiefdom of the Bishop of Speyer . The family died out in the 14th century and was inherited by the family of the Chamberlain von Worms , later von Dalberg . In 1390 or 1400 the Dalberg lordship was finally in the possession of the new masters. In 1478 there was an exchange of territory between the treasurers of Worms called von Dalberg and the neighboring Count of Zweibrücken-Bitsch , during which the summer slump fell to the latter. However, the Dalbergers regained the village in 1492 as a fief of Zweibrücken-Bitsch and it belonged to the Dalbergers almost until the end of the old empire . It was not until 1784 that they pawned it for 36,000 guilders , which led to considerable but useless protests from the population.
