Christian Augustus Count Palatine of Sulzbach 1622-1708

Born in Sulzbach as the eldest son of Augustus, Count Palatine of Sulzbach and Hedwig of Holstein-Gottorp. He succeeded his father in August 1632, at the age of 10. Christian Augustus was a tolerant ruler. He granted his citizens the right to choose their Christian denomination and introduced the Simultaneum, whereby churches had both Protestant and Catholic services. In 1666 he permitted Jews to settle in the Duchy of Sulzbach and, due to his interest in mysticism and the Kabbalah, allowed a Hebrew print-shop. Under his rule, Sulzbach also became an intellectual center and the site of a regionally significant printing industry.
