history
In the Lorsch Codex , Sulzbach was mentioned in a deed of donation from the year 775. The place changed hands frequently. Via the Teutonic Order (around 1200) and various pens and knights, the place came to the Electoral Palatinate in 1526 , in whose Lohrbach winery it remained until the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1803. With the multiple changes of denomination in the Electoral Palatinate, the subjects had to change their denomination ten times within 130 years. After the end of the Electoral Palatinate, the place became part of the Principality of Leiningen in 1803 and, from 1806, of the Grand Duchy of Baden .
On February 1, 1974 Sulzbach was incorporated into Billigheim.
