Sandhausen was first mentioned in a document in 1262 under the name "Santhusen". The name comes from the ice age sand dunes that border the place. To the west of Sandhausen there was a low castle , whose masters were the noble free von Bruch. Later the local rule was exercised by the noble free von Bruchsal. Otto von Bruchsal transferred the fiefdom to Count Palatine Ludwig in 1262 .

In 1351 the Electoral Palatinate bought the rule over Sandhausen and divided the place into Kirchheimer Zent and later to the Oberamt Heidelberg . Sandhausen was destroyed during the Mainz collegiate feud in 1462, in the Thirty Years' War and in 1689 in the Palatinate War of Succession . After the French Revolution , the Palatinate was occupied as part of the coalition wars and Sandhausen became Baden , which was confirmed in 1803 in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss .

The left half shows three deciduous trees on a silver background , a symbol for Sandhausen as a Hardt community. The flag is white and blue.

The coat of arms goes back to a seal from 1698, which the community of Sandhausen used until 1811 , as evidenced by the list of homage to Grand Duke Karl . In a seal engraved in 1818, the oblique bar from Baden and three acorns could be seen in a shield that was split to the left. A later seal again showed the Wittelsbach diamonds and instead of the acorns three hearts. The coat of arms adopted by the municipality in 1900 was designed and approved by the Baden General State Archives based on the example of the seal from 1698 .

In 1757 a church was built for the Reformed . After it became too small, it was sold to the Jewish community and used as a synagogue . After 1875 the Jewish community lost many members due to migration to the cities, so that the synagogue was used as a storage room. In 1938 the community bought Sandhausen, which prevented the former synagogue from being destroyed by the Nazi rulers. Today the building is used as the “Old Church / Synagogue” for cultural events. A memorial stone from 1961 on 115 Hauptstrasse commemorates this story.
