history
Until the church is planted
Finds from the Neolithic age suggest that the Sulzbach valley was already settled 3,500 years BC. Close. The ring wall " Altenburg " on the Schlossberg located between the district of Soden and Leidersbach / Ebersbach probably served at all times as a "refuge", ie as a place of retreat in the event of danger. During the two excavation periods in 2008 and 2009, carried out under the direction of the arachologist Harald Rosmanitz, supported by ARGE Altenburg, it was found on the basis of the findings that the Altenburg had been around since the "Michelsberg period, approx. 4,000 BC". , was inhabited at least temporarily. In the event of danger, it may have served as a retreat until the Middle Ages, as the finds show. In 2018 and 2019, the ARGE partially reconstructed the system. A piece of the "post slot wall" and a "Celtic house" were rebuilt. The Celtic house is set up like a museum so that the visitor gets an insight into how the Celts lived back then. Various information boards inform visitors about the historical significance of Altenburg.
During Roman times , the Main and Limes formed the border between Germania and the Odenwald area on the opposite side of the Main, which was occupied by the Romans . In the period that followed, the Chatti , Alamanni , Burgundy and Franconian tribes settled in the Sulzbachtal. Probably at the time of Karl Martell (714-741), the municipality of Ruchelnheim , located on Sulzbacher local area and later disintegrated during the Thirty Years' War, was founded. The places Sulzbach, Ebersbach, Leidersbach and Roßbach, located on the course of the Sulzbach and Leidersbach, were still established in the Carolingian era ; The settlement of today's district of Soden probably goes back to the late Carolingian era.
Sulzbach and Soden were assigned to the parish of Ruchelnheim, which was subordinate to the St. Peter and Alexander monastery in Aschaffenburg . The first documentary mention of Sulzbach goes to a document from Pope Lucius III. back, in which a curtem in Sulzibah (court in Sulzbach) is listed among the estates of the Aschaffenburg monastery.
From the middle of the 13th century Sulzbach belonged to the Centena Ascaffinburg , the Zent Aschaffenburg, which was replaced by the Zent vorm Spessart in the 15th century . Until the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 Sulzbach was under the rule of the Archbishopric Mainz and was there in the area of the district bailiff Kleinwallstadt in the Vizedomamt Aschaffenburg.
After that it was part of the newly founded Principality of Aschaffenburg , which was part of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt for the years 1810 to 1813 . During this time Sulzbach belonged as a Mairie to the Districtsmairie Kleinwallstadt of the department of Aschaffenburg. In 1812 Sulzbach had 137 campfire sites and 690 residents. Maire and Landzöller was Peter Schwarzkopf. His adjuncts were called Johann Adam Fries and Johann Adam Lebert. The school teacher was MJ Poll. Joachim Sartorius was the pastor. The chaplains were called Michael Reinhard and Anton Reinhard.
As a result of the Paris Treaty of June 3, 1814, Sulzbach came together with the territory of the former Principality of Aschaffenburg on June 26, 1814 to the Crown of Bavaria. From 1817 Sulzbach belonged to District Court III. Class Kleinwallstadt, Principality of Aschaffenburg, Lower Main District. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the rural community Sulzbach was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .
19th and 20th centuries
As in the other Spessart regions, the fragmentation of the cultivated areas, caused by the Mainz inheritance law, in the 18th and 19th centuries also led to a deterioration in economic living conditions in Sulzbach. Only with the advent of industry in Aschaffenburg and the opening of the Aschaffenburg-Miltenberg railway line in 1876 did the situation improve.
After the Kleinwallstadt regional court was dissolved in 1828, Sulzbach came to the first class regional court in Obernburg. When it was merged with the Klingenberg Regional Court in 1862, the Obernburg District Office was formed, on whose administrative territory Sulzbach was located. As everywhere in the German Reich , the term district was introduced in 1939. Sulzbach was now one of the 35 communities in the district of Obernburg am Main (license plate OBB ). With the dissolution of the district of Obernburg, Sulzbach came to the newly formed district of Miltenberg in 1972 (license plate number MIL ).
The municipality was raised to the market on May 25, 1973.

coat of arms
The coat of arms of Sulzbach shows two crossed salt hooks on a red background, which point to the historical salt production as the origin of the place names Sulzbach and Soden. The Mainz wheel (left) commemorates the territorial and manorial rule of the Archbishopric Mainz , which lasted until 1803 , the heraldic lily (right) goes back to the coat of arms of the Electorate Mainz noble family von Sulzbach. The shield with three red rafters (middle) is taken from the coat of arms of the Lords of Eppstein , who were the most important landlords in Sulzbach from the 12th to the 15th century.

Industry and economy
Lighter industry
Sulzbach became known primarily through the lighter industry: Ibelo , the largest lighter manufacturer in Europe, had its production site in Sulzbach and employed over 300 people. The company was re-established by Hermann Zahn after the war , after the original Jewish owners had emigrated to Great Britain and never returned. The company expanded several times in the period that followed. In 1986 the company went bankrupt and was sold. After years of vacancy, the former company building was demolished on behalf of the municipal administration in 2009 and the site is to be redesigned. Currently (2019) contaminated sites / pollutants are still being filtered out of the ground on the former company premises.
Textile industry
Large parts of the Sulzbach population worked in the Sulzbach textile industry. Due to the general situation in this industry , only a few of these companies have survived to this day.
Other industries
The beverage manufacturer Sodenthaler was founded in 1950. The company has been part of the Coca-Cola group since 1996 and still produces in the Sulzbach district of Soden .
The Möbel Kempf company in Sulzbach made the leap from a small business to a nationally known furniture store.

Oddities
Sulzbach
In the course of the low and mean water correction of the Main, groynes and longitudinal works were built into the Main bed in the middle of the 19th century in order to increase the mean water level of the fairway to 70 to 90 cm. Spawning grounds for fish were created behind these groynes ; Also shells could develop there. The Sulzbachers fed the Main mussels to their pigs. The Niedernbergers came up with the nickname / Ortsneckname "Määmuschel", and the Sulzbacher countered with "Tin cats".
Määmuschel calls over to Sulzbach,
"You will hear Tinny Katz again,
Everybody in the village sings:
"The Nirrenberscher hates a sheet of metal".
Dornau
The name for chicken eggs in the Dornau dialect is "Gaggl". This name was not known in the surrounding villages. This is how the Dornauers got their nickname / Ortsneckname.
