Angelbachtal is a municipality in Kraichgau, between Sinsheim and Bruchsal, created in 1972 by the union of Eichtersheim and Michelfeld.

The following cities and municipalities border Angelbachtal, clockwise from the North: With the exception of Östringen, all of these places lie in the Rhein-Neckar Kreis.

Because of the association of Eichtersheim and Michelfeld with Friedrich Hecker popular committees quickly formed and had great resonance with the population at large.

As Eichtersheim had at that time only about 150 families (in a population of 750), one can say that the entire village embraced the revolution.

It is also remarkable that the revolutionaries spanned the entire range of professions, for example, mayor, court clerk, businessman, farmer, innkeeper, etc.

The red lily staffs are from the coat of arms of Eichtersheim and acknowledge the Barons of Venningen.

The flag is yellow and blue and with the coat of arms was bestowed upon Angelbachtal by the Rhein-Neckar district administration office on 30 April 1985.
