The municipality of Schlangenbad consists of the parts Schlangenbad, Georgenborn, Wambach, Bärstadt, Hausen v.d.H., Obergladbach and Niedergladbach and has a total of ca. 7200 inhabitants.
Schlangenbad derives its name from "snake" (German "Schlange") since the region is home to a small population of aesculapian snakes, normally native to southern Europe.
