Sensbachtal 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.

Geography

Location

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.

Neighbouring communities

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).

Constituent communities

Sensbachtal’s Ortsteile are Hebstahl, Ober-Sensbach and Unter-Sensbach.

Politics

The municipal election held on 26 March 2006 yielded the following results:

Parties and voter communities		% 2006	Seats 2006	% 2001	Seats 2001
GFW/ÜWS	Gemeinschaft Freier Wähler/Überparteiliche Wählervereinigung Sensbachtal	100.0	15	65.6	10
DS	Dorfgemeinschaft Sensbachtal	–	–	22.8	3
BVS	Bürger-Vereinigung-Sensbachtal	–	–	11.6	2
Total		100.0	15	100.0	15
Voter turnout in %		52.0		72.5

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).
