Ziegelhausen and the Neckar

Ziegelhausen lies on the northern banks of the Neckar River and extends northward into the Odenwald Forest. It has a small shopping district but is dominated by mainly single-family and some multiple-family houses.

Ziegelhausen's abundant supply of water and steep, south-facing slopes made it a center of the Neckar Valley laundry trade in the 18th and 19th centuries. Johannes Brahms summered in Ziegelhausen during the 1880s.

Ziegelhausen has several small parks, including one that features a playground of Niki de Saint-Phalle-inspired tile sculptures.

Its name means in English house of bricks, and can be attributed to a brick factory that was built there before anyone lived there. The factory is no longer in use.

The symbol of Ziegelhausen is a house with red clay roof shingles. It is on local teams' shirt for most sports.
