Abstract
Abstract Taking a tip from Kümmerly and Frey’s Strassen-Atlas Deutsch/and-Europa (1982), with its bright yellow emphasis on sehenswerte Orte (sites worth seeing), one enters Sulzburg in the southwestern part of the German state of Baden-Württemberg expecting to find a village that is both picturesque and rich in history. The village, whose population today consists of only a few thousand, has a fairly unpretentious location, straddling a small stream as it falls from the Hochschwarzwald into the flood plain of the Rhine. There are no signs leading to the “sites worth seeing,” though the flow of traffic through the village pulls one first through the town gate-a quaint medieval portal now looking rather baroque-along the one main street suitable for motorized traffic, briefly across the stream to the chapel of St. Cyriac, a Carolingian monastery church from the early Middle Ages, and then back to the main thoroughfare, which leads up through a valley to Bad Sulzburg, which at 1414 meters is the eventual goal of most who pass this way.
