Abstract	The marsupials, insectivores and bats from Sandelzhausen, including the finds from the excavation campaigns until 1997, are presented.Amphiperatherium frequens is only sparsely represented. More than two thirds of the specimens are fromGalerix aff.exilis, Proscapanus sansaniensis andDinosorex aff.zapfei. The evolutionary level ofGalerix aff.exilis allows the correlation of the fauna with the Upper Orleanian which corresponds to the MN 5 unit. In the fauna inhabitants of forests and (semi) aquatic forms can be identified, but no inhabitants of open and arid environments. In the layers above the coal seam (upper pebbly marls) there are much less finds than in the layers below (lower pebbly marls). From the minor differences in the quantitative composition of the fauna from both layers no essential alterations in the environment can be seen.Die Beuteltiere, Insektenfresser und Fledermäuse von Sandelzhausen einschließlich der Funde aus den Grabungen bis 1997 werden vorgestellt.Amphiperatherium frequens spielt mengenmäßig eine untergeordnete Rolle. Über zwei Drittel der Funde sind vonGalerix aff.exilis, Proscapanus sansaniensis undDinosorex aff.zapfei. Das Evolutionsniveau vonGalerix aff.exilis erlaubt die Einstufung der Fauna in das obere Orleanium, entsprechend MN 5. In der Fauna lassen sich Bewohner von Wäldern und (semi-)aquatische Formen, nicht aber Bewohner offener und trockener Habitate identifizieren. In den Schichten über der Kohlelage (obere Geröllmergel) gibt es wesentlich weniger Funde als in den Lagen darunter (untere Geröllmergel). Aus den geringfügigen Unterschieden in der quantitativen Zusammenstzung der Faunen aus beiden Lagen lassen sich keine wesentlichen Veränderungen der Umwelt folgern.
