Stadtmuseum Sulzbach-Rosenberg (City Museum Sulzbach-Rosenberg)
An altarpiece that can be cranked up, closed baptismal fonts - when two denominations share a church, you have to come to an arrangement. In the Principality of Palatinate-Sulzbach, the "Sulzbach Simultaneum" in the middle of the 17th century was a prime example of religious tolerance and political foresight. This is one of the three major thematic areas that the town museum illustrates in the charmingly winding rooms of two late medieval building complexes on an area of approx. 950 m²; in addition, there is the historical development of the principality and town of Sulzbach as well as the history of mining and metallurgy (Maxhütte). The fact that the Simultaneum also included the Jews is documented, among other things, by the book printing section: Sulzbach became one of the largest printing centres for Hebraica in Europe at the time. The Sulzbach faience manufactory and the rediscovered "terra sigillata" pottery are also of particular importance. The "parlour" of a mayor around 1800, the meagre living quarters of a "Maxhütterer family" and the biography of a Rosenberg working-class woman tell of people's lives. The former Löwenapotheke pharmacy has also found a new home in the town museum.
