Sulzbach-Rosenberg

Sulzbach-Rosenberg is a municipality in Bavaria consisting of two historic sections: western Sulzbach and eastern Rosenberg. The town sits within the landscape of the Amberg-Sulzbach region and shapes the character of this area.

Sulzbach castle was founded in the 8th century and served as a residence for the counts of Nordgau and later the counts of Sulzbach. The town developed around this fortress and became an important regional center until the 12th century.

The music festival held here draws performers and musicians who gather to share their work and connect through performances. Events take place across different venues in the town, bringing together people from various countries through shared artistic experiences.

The town is accessible by car or public transport and has a compact central area with public buildings. Walking around helps you explore both sections and discover their different characters.

A woman from this region married a Byzantine Emperor and brought local connections to the European stage. This link to distant cultures made the place notable in medieval history.
