The commune is also part of the Haguenau catchment area, of which it is an outlying commune. This area, which includes 34 communes, is categorised as having between 50,000 and less than 200,000 inhabitants.[18][19]
The commune's land use, as revealed by the European biophysical land cover database Corine Land Cover (CLC), is characterised by the importance of agricultural land (67.7% in 2018), a proportion roughly equivalent to that of 1990 (68.5%).

From Goten hause, a possession of the nearbyabbey of Wissembourg; another Kutzenhausen was located nearDrusenheim and probably owes its name to the former abbey of Arnulfsau. In the past, the abbeys were also called Goten hause, an old form spelt Chuzichusi.
The municipality of Kutzenhausen originated from the former bailliage[22] and, at the beginning of the 19th century, included the towns of Niederkutzenhausen and Feldbach, now the village of Kutzenhausen, Oberkutzenhausen, Merkwiller and Hoelschloch.[23][24] In 1888, these two districts formed the new commune of Merkwiller, and Kutzenhausen was transferred from the arrondissement of Wissembourg to thearrondissement of Haguenau-Wissembourg on 1 January 2015.
In France, the first oil wells (mainly oil sands) were sunk in Kutzenhausen. Oil production, together with a refinery, continued until the 1970s.
