The Latin term "Rhenanae Tabernae" literally means "tavern" and "Rhine". Hence Rheinzabern was founded as a place of rest for travellers on Roman roads. Founded some 1950 years ago as "Rhenanae Tabernae" along a Roman road, it is known for its Samian ware production. Remnants of the production are still visible and there is a local museum dedicated to pottery and Roman culture.
The village has a rural character and has been agricultural for a long time. Rheinzabern now presents itself as a residential community in the vicinity of the large economic areas of Rhine-Neckar and Karlsruhe. Rheinzabern has a solid infrastructure with many craft and agricultural businesses.
The village can be reached from the east via the Bundesstraße 9 and from the west, the connection via the A 65 motorway is the "Kandel-Mitte" exit.
Rheinzabern station is on Schifferstadt–Wörth railway and is served by the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn.
A partnership is maintained with the five French communes of Chalmoux, Cronat, Mont, Saint-Aubin-sur-Loire and Vitry-sur-Loire (Communauté de communes entre Somme et Loire) in Burgundy.[3]
