The Hartwaldgenossenschaft was an amalgamation of several villages near the Hartwald near Durbach . They jointly managed the forest so that there was no overexploitation. Zusenhofen was part of this cooperative as early as 1447 together with Appenweier, Erlach , Nesselried and Nussbach. The Hartwald was divided among the municipalities in 1805 and when it was dissolved it had an area of ​​1361 Jeuch and 354 Ruthen , which corresponds to around 4.9 km².
