Sensbachtal

Sensbachtal (German pronunciation: [ˈzɛnsbaxˌtaːl], lit. 'Sensbach Valley') is a village and a former municipality in the Odenwaldkreis (district) in Hesse, Germany. Since January 2018, it is part of the new town Oberzent. Sensbachtal lies in the southern Odenwald and the Geo-Naturpark Bergstraße-Odenwald at elevations of between 300 and 550 m, 10 km away from Eberbach on the Neckar. Sensbachtal borders in the east on the community of Hesseneck (Odenwaldkreis), in the south on the town of Eberbach (Rhein-Neckar-Kreis in Baden-Württemberg) and in the west and north on the town of Beerfelden (Odenwaldkreis). Sensbachtal’s Ortsteile are Hebstahl, Ober-Sensbach and Unter-Sensbach. The municipal election held on 26 March 2006 yielded the following results: The municipal council is thereby made up exclusively of non-party voter communities. In Hesse, this is otherwise only the case in the community of Antrifttal (Vogelsbergkreis). Egon Scheuermann has been the mayor since 1 January 2008. The Jagdschloss Krähberg (“hunting palace”) was built about 1780, and is nowadays privately used. Bundesstraße 45 lies roughly 8 km from the community.
