history

The place is mentioned for the first time around 1060 as "Solzchirichun" in the Pontifical Gundekarianum . This is where the ministerials of the Eichstätter church sat . In 1122, for example, the local aristocrat “Werinherus de Solzkirchen” testifies to a donation from Count Ernst von Hirschberg . He also appears in the deed of dedication of the Benedictine monastery Plankstetten 1138. 1151 transferred a Bertha, called von Sulzkirchen, serfs to the monastery Plankstetten; it came from the Gundelfingern, who sat with the von Stein men at the Lower Sulzburg Imperial Fortress . The Reichsgut zu Sulzkirchen passed from the Gundelfinger to the Wolfsteiner , who were able to rise from the originally royal servant class to the imperial count class through their acquisitions of former imperial property. When the local noble brothers in Meckenhausen sold goods to the Bishop of Eichstätt in 1269 , this was testified by the pastor and Meier von Sulzkirchen, among others. According to a document from 1297, Heinrich Schenk von Hofstetten owned the Meierhof ; he had bought it from the Reich Ministerial Albert IV. Rindsmaul and received it as a fief from the Hochstift Eichstätt .

In 1349 the Wolfsteinsche Albrecht the Elder zu Pyrbaum and his nephews, the sons of Leopold von Wolfstein, divided the Wolfstein property between them; Here Albrecht received the possession of Obersulzbürg and thus also the Vogtei of Sulzkirchen for his Pyrbaum feast .

On April 20, 1740, the last imperial count Christian Albrecht von Wolfstein died. The imperial rule Sulzbürg-Pyrbaum fell as a settled fiefdom to the Bavarian Electorate, which subordinated the property to the Amberg Rent Office . After disputes with the Wolfstein allodial heirs , the princes of Hohenlohe and von Giech , Kurbayern was finally able to dispose of the Wolfstein allodestiz. In Sulzkirchen the former Wolfstein property consisted of four whole goods, five 1/2 goods, four 1/4 goods and 28 smaller goods. There was also a parish shepherd's house. Towards the end of the Old Empire, the former Wolfstein estates were under the rule of the Sulzbuerg cabinet, which also exercised high jurisdiction. A 1/2 estate belonged to the Stauf nursing office .

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806) Sulzkirchen became part of the Forchheim tax district . In 1811 Sulzkirchen was given the status of its own rural community in the Neumarkt district court as a parish village . Nothing changed in this respect through the community edict of 1818. However, on October 9, 1827, the community Sulzkirchen was assigned to the district court and rent office (later the district office, then the district) Beilngries. In 1875 the agricultural character of the place was shown by a herd of 31 horses, 328 head of cattle, 487 sheep, 139 pigs and twelve goats. The children attended the local Protestant school.

With the regional reform in Bavaria Sulzkirchen lost its municipal status and was incorporated into the town of Freystadt in the Upper Palatinate district of Neumarkt on July 1, 1972.

Evangelical Lutheran Parish Church of St. George

Sulzkirchen was an original parish of the Eichstätt diocese, which had been incorporated into the Plankstetten monastery since 1129 (according to Buchner since 1138). Bishop Gundekar II consecrated a church here in the second half of the 11th century. In 1566, the Lutheran faith was introduced in Sulzkirchen among the Wolfsteiners. In 1580 Forchheim was separated from the Lutheran mother parish Sulzkirchen and elevated to a Calvin parish (1625 Counter Reformation, 1670 Catholic parish).

Today's church was built in 1735 under the last Wolfsteiner. A church tower with an octagon and dome is placed in the east of the hall building on a rectangular floor plan with double galleries. The flat barrel is provided with stucco by Gerolamo Andrioli and frescoes. In the east there is a pulpit altar ; Opposite it is the lordship gallery with the coat of arms of Wolfstein and Hohenlohe-Langenburg. The gate tower of the formerly fortified cemetery no longer exists; the entrance gate from the 16./17. Century cantilevered on seven consoles.

When Catholics resettled in Sulzkirchen in the Kingdom of Bavaria, they were assigned to the Catholic parish Sulzbürg by the General Commissioner of the Upper Danube District in 1814 . Twelve Catholics lived here in 1875, three in 1900 and 16 in 1937, who were pastored by the Sulzbürger Forchheim branch.
