Pope Lucius III
Sulzbach and Soden were assigned to the parish of Ruchelnheim, itself subordinate to the "" (collegiate church) in Aschaffenburg. Sulzbach had its first documentary mention in a document from Pope Lucius III, in which a "curtem in Sulzibah" (estate in Sulzbach) was listed among the Aschaffenburg Stiftskirche's holdings.
