history

Early history

The first traces of settlement date from the Celtic era , as evidenced by a series of burial mounds and a square hill .

A Roman fort ( Kastell Sulz ) was built around the year 74 AD on a hill south of today's city center. Today the city district Sulz-Kastell is located there with an industrial area.

The first documentary mention dates back to 790 as "villa publica Sulza". The city owes its name to its salt springs , which have shaped the city's history for centuries. The first owners of the salt works were the Counts of Sulz in the 11th century . From 1250 onwards, the lords of Geroldseck ruled over the city and the salt pans, while the counts of Sulz were pushed back to peripheral properties; the process is not yet completely clear. Lossburg and the valleys behind Schenkenzell also belonged to the domain of the Counts of Sulz .

The Lords of Geroldseck were also the builders of Albeck Castle southwest of the city. In 1284 King Rudolf von Habsburg granted Sulz town rights . Between 1301 and 1473, the city was the seat of the Geroldsecker line who resided here, although they experienced a steady economic decline in the 15th century despite some inheritances and finally had to sell to Württemberg under massive pressure in 1473 .

The rule of the Geroldsecker after the expulsion of Duke Ulrich von Württemberg by the Swabian Federation in 1519 was only an interlude that ended in 1534 with the return of the Duke. The only thing left for the Geroldseckers was the title “von Geroldseck und Sulz”. The city burned down almost completely within the city walls twice (1581 and 1794). It took two years to rebuild; in the meantime it has been repeatedly plundered by French soldiers.

The district of Mühlheim was mentioned in a document as early as 772 in the Lorsch Codex as Muliheim .

19th and 20th centuries

For a long time the only saltworks in the country was located in Sulz in Württemberg. When the much more productive salt works on the Kocher became part of Württemberg in 1803 , the city lost its economic status as a salt city, but remained the seat of the Oberamt Sulz , which gained considerably in size in the early years of the Kingdom of Württemberg , which was founded in 1806 as part of the new administrative structure of Württemberg . In 1867, with the expansion of the Plochingen – Immendingen line on the Horb to Talhausen section, it was connected to the route network of the Royal Württemberg State Railways .

In 1938, during the administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg, the Sulz district, which emerged from the Sulz Oberamt in 1934, was dissolved and became part of the Horb district .

Towards the end of the Second World War, a satellite camp of the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp was set up in Sulz am Neckar . In 1944, Gestapo people interrogated and tortured Polish slave laborers suspected of being linked to a resistance organization in the former local court prison. At least seven of the prisoners were killed.

After the Second World War, the city fell into the French occupation zone and thus came to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in 1947 , which was incorporated into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.

During the district reform in 1973 , Sulz came to the Rottweil district. With the dissolution of the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern at the same time , the city of Sulz became part of the administrative district of Freiburg .

From 1963 to 1993 there was a Bundeswehr depot in Sulz.

In remembrance of the earlier importance of salt production from brine , the swimming pool has been filled with brine since the new outdoor pool was built, making it the only brine outdoor pool in the area.

21st century

Covid-19 pandemic 2020

On April 6, 2020, Sulz recorded a sharp increase in confirmed corona cases, both in absolute numbers and in relation to the number of infected people per 1000 inhabitants. On April 15, 2020, Sulz appears again in the presentation of the number of cases with 118 of 483 confirmed cases as the municipality in the Rottweil district most affected by the Covid 19 pandemic . The spread of the virus is detected in three home facilities. Employees and their relatives were also infected with Covid-19 in a large company. On April 17, 2020, Sulz am Neckar was the first city in Baden-Württemberg to introduce a mask requirement with a general decree. The criticism is loud from one doctor, the infection process was caused by the high number of tests.

Even when the press reported a few days later that the dynamic in the district was decreasing, Sulz was referred to as a “hotspot” in the district. Infections in three companies and "all residents and three quarters of the nursing staff" in a home are the focus of the reporting. In response to the spread of the virus and the staffing restriction of the nursing staff, all 13 residents who tested positive were transferred to hospital.

One week after the introduction of the mask requirement, Sulz remains at the head of the affected communities in the Rottweil district before the cities of Rottweil (93), Oberndorf (84) and Schramberg with 152 confirmed infected people.

On May 2nd - four days later - the number of people recovered is estimated at 78. Regarding the numbers, the head of the Rottweil Health Department, Heinz Joachim Adam, notes that no second confirmatory test will be made for those who have tested positive, so there will also be false positives. In contrast to the Robert Koch Institute , the Rottweil Health Department assessed the recovery as "symptom-oriented" and inquired directly with those affected. This explains the difference to the previous number according to RKI criteria. In local school transport - from May 4, 1,500 pupils at vocational and special schools should attend school - a mask requirement applies in the Sulz-Oberndorf area. This means that the measures here are more stringent than in the district, where only wearing a mask is recommended on the school bus.

On May 8, 2020, 114 of the 156 infected corona cases considered confirmed are already officially registered as symptom-free and in this sense considered healthy. After these numbers remained the same until May 12, there were official reports on May 13 from six “officially corona-free communities” and the Sulz hotspot: There are still 43 people there with the corona virus. The frequency distributions or incidences are now reported , which in Sulz is 12.70 cases per 1000 inhabitants. In a district overview of those infected with COVID-19 from June 1, 2020, 149 out of 157 confirmed infected people in Sulz are officially healthy. In this sense, 9 out of 22 communities are now corona-free, including the neighboring cities and communities Dornhan and Vöhringen.
