Etymology
From de Sonne sun -n- Brand fire, burn. The word originally meant the burning heat of the sun. As such it was also commonly used in the context of sunburnt skin. However, the use of de Sonnenbrand to refer this skin condition itself (meaning that one can “have a sunburn”, de Sonnenbrand haben) seems to be a development of the 20th century.
