history

The first written mention of Sunthausen comes from February 17th, 895 . In this deed of donation, King Arnulf bequeaths the village of Sunthusa to his Chancellor Ernst on the basis of an intercession by Bishop Wiching of Nitra . The certificate also proves a close relationship with Tuningen, two kilometers away .

The northern half of the place used to belong to Württemberg and was Protestant and the southern half of the place belonged to Fürstenberg and was Catholic . The place was separated by the small river Kötach , which meanders through Sunthausen today.

In the years 1797, 1896, 1908 and 1921, large fires devastated the town center with the school and town hall.

Until 1832, the local court was the administrative center in the communities, which was headed by bailiffs . From 1832 the mayor's office was established. Because of the community reform , the community Sunthausen has belonged to the city ​​of Bad Dürrheim since January 1, 1972 . In 1995 the whole place celebrated its 1100th anniversary with a big anniversary party. The honorary mayor is Albert Scherer (CDU).
