Historical rooms, selected exhibits, and architectural details tell the story of life in the ducal city.

Architecture to Touch: Two Houses, Many Eras

Curious explorers can peek behind the walls of the historic buildings at Neustadt 14–16. The oldest parts date back to the mid-14th century. As peasant houses, they were among the most splendid of their time; later, officials and nobles resided here. Since 1986, the city museum has presented the local history on about 950 m² – from residence culture to mining.

Local History Come Alive: Principality, Tolerance, Industry

Connoisseurs of the Upper Palatinate appreciate the thematic depth: Sulzbacher Simultaneum as an example of religious tolerance, the Principality of Pfalz-Sulzbach, and the Maxhütte as a driving force of industrialization. The tour links exhibits with urban development, cultural heritage, and hidden details – history to touch.
