Zaisenhausen was first mentioned in a document in 1358. In 1616 a town hall was built, which also served as a school house and has been preserved as a residential building on the Ettebrücke , and in 1777 the St. George's Church.
From 1666 to 1806 Zaisenhausen belonged to the rule of Würzburg , which was part of the Franconian Empire , then to the Kingdom of Württemberg . From 1819 Zaisenhausen formed a community with Staigerbach. In 1888 the old town hall and school building was replaced by a new building. This has been preserved and is now used as the parish hall. In 1893 a Lourdes grotto was built. In 1911 Zaisenhausen received a water pipe instead of the usual water supply from wells. In 1954/1955 a new town hall was built, in which the local administration has its seat today. From 1968 to 1970 the Ette, which flows through the village, was dammed outside the village towards Bartenstein . The retention basin offers 1.9 hectares of storage space. In 1972 it was incorporated into Mulfingen. In 1985 and 1986 the old town hall and school building was redesigned into a community hall. In 1994 Zaisenhausen came first in the district decision in the competition Our village should be more beautiful .

In the center of the village is the two-arched Ette Bridge with a figure of St. Nepomuk . The Ette is lined by an avenue of lime trees.
In 1893, the teacher Vögele - a successor in office of Heiner Geißler's grandfather , who was a teacher in Zaisenhausen from 1883 to 1890 - built the Lourdes grotto from allegedly Thuringian tuff as thanks for the fact that the water supply in Zaisenhausen did not collapse during a long period of drought. The grotto at the Zaisenhausen spring is 6 to 7 meters high; In front of it there is a small complex with a pavilion in which the faithful expressed their thanks for answering their prayers with votive tablets , benches for prayer and a vase stylized as an urn, the base of which bears the year 1893. The Lourdes grotto of Zaisenhausen is considered the largest of its kind in southern Germany, was renovated for the centenary and is now a stop on one of the paths of silence in the region. In the area between Berlichingen and Zaisenhausen there are a total of 13 Lourdes grottos; the one in Zaisenhausen is one of the oldest.
In Zaisenhausen there is also a private enclosure with fallow deer .
