Für Frieden und Toleranz: Herzog Christian August veränderte Sulzbach für immer

Als Kind musste er vor feindlichen Truppen aus Sulzbach fliehen. Der Krieg schockierte ihn. Wie Christian August, der erste Herzog von Pfalz-Sulzbach, das Leben in der Stadt bis heute prägt. Eine Festschrift zu seinem 400. Geburtstag.

Geht der Blick vom Sulzbacher Rathaus zum einstigen Wittelsbacher Residenzschloss, dominiert die Stadtpfarrkirche St. Marien auf dem Marktplatz. In der Fürstengruft unter dem Gotteshaus wurde der 1622 geborene Pfalzgraf Christian August 1708 bestattet. Der Eingang zur Gruft liegt etwas rechts vom Bushäuschen.
