Alongside Altenberg, Herrenberg, Kapellenberg, Kirchberg, Klosterberg and Rosenberg, the name is one of the most common single-vineyard designations in Germany. Sonnenberg occurs a total of 80 times in almost all growing regions, making it by far the most common name. Many other vineyard names contain "sun" as a component. Optimum exposure (sunlight) plays an important role during the vegetation cycle.

Bad Sulza - Saale-Unstrut

The south to south-east facing vineyards with slopes of 20 to 30% cover 24 hectares of vines. The soils, which are skeleton-rich in places, consist of loamy sand to clayey loam.
