The area around the High - Brawn was inhabited in the Bronze Age. In the era of the Romans (since about 50 BC) there was a large villa rustica. 1869 two Roman sarcophagi, a cage cup, five other precious glasses and a bottle of Dionysus were found in a clay pit. It was one of the most important German glass finds from the late Roman era. In addition to the bottle, the other High - Sülzer glasses are missing since the end of World War II. The remaining Dionysos - bottle today is the main piece in the collection of the National Museum of Roman glass Mainz ( Inventory No. R 6111 ). The bottle is 42 cm high and has a figure touches on. The image was cut into plastic acting deep cut the plastic effect of the figures by engraving the individual parts of the body is enhanced. The multi-figure scene is from the milieu of the wine god Dionysus. The bottle is attributed due to this technique, the same workshop that has made ​​even the Lynkeus Mug in Romano-Germanic Museum.

In the documents of the monastery Lorsch ( Lorsch codex ) is first mentioned in the year 766 High Sülzen as " Sulzheim " documentary. 1253 came the village an exclave of the County of Falkenstein. First, this ruled by the Lords of Bolanden which were inherited in 1418 by the Counts of Virneburg.

Through various owners went the county Falkenstein and with it the village High Sülzen 1667 to the Duke of Lorraine. Through the marriage of the Duke Francis Stephen of Lorraine with Maria Theresa of Habsburg, High Sülzen came to Austria and was subordinate to the chief official of the Reich Winnweiler front part of Austria. High - Brawn was therefore also referred to more often as " imperial High - brawn " and the historic City Hall are still double eagle - chairs and door fittings from the Austrian era.

High - brawn with its surrounding area was mostly occupied by the French in December 1792 and was ceded in the peace treaty of Campo Formio (1797 ), as part of the left bank of the Rhine from Austria to France, where it remained until 1814. During this time it belonged to the French Département du Mont- Tonnerre with the seat of government in Mainz and was assigned to the Canton Pfeddersheim.

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was established in 1955 and confirmed by the Interior Ministry of Rhineland -Palatinate in 1957; it solved the old coat of arms of the county of Falkenstein from a heraldic symbol village. Nevertheless, the Falkensteiner history remained dominant in the new coat of arms. The right half of the shield shows the coat of arms of the county of Falkenstein, which left a pattern of standing diamonds, which is indecipherable, according to the official community website and was taken from an old court seal of the High - brawn. Apparently, it originally comes from the coat of arms of the Counts of Virneburg as former owners of Falkensteiner empire county. Both parts are crowned coat of arms of a main shield with grape vine, which refers to the wine-growing tradition of the place.
