History
Together with the Zent of Meckesheim, Zuzenhausen became part of the Electorate of the Palatinate in 1330. The overlordship of the castle and the town, however, belonged to the Bishopric of Speyer. Speyer enfeoffed the Barons von Venningen at least partially since the 14th century and completely from 1637. In 1803 Zuzenhausen became part of Baden. With the municipal reform of Baden-Württembergischen, Zuzenhausen retained its independence and entered a municipal association with Sinsheim and Angelbachtal in 1974.

The flag is red and white and was awarded by the Ministry of the State in 1963.
