# Sensbachtal

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 | 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 |

| Voter turnout in % | Voter turnout in % | 52.0 | 52.0 | 72.5 | 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).
