Zimmerau is a district of the municipality of Sulzdorf an der Lederhecke in the Lower Franconian district of Rhön-Grabfeld (Bavaria).

Zimmerau was first mentioned in 1230 in a document issued by Helmberch von Ziberowe. The place name means Au bei dem Zimmerholz. In 1327, after the von Zimmerau knightly family died out, the Lords of Schollen, a branch of the von Milz family, settled in Zimmerau. In those years the place belonged to the Henneberg district of Heldburg. In 1354, after two inheritance divisions of the Henneberg-Schleusingen line, state sovereignty over Zimmerau came to the Würzburg monastery. Around 1500, the stewards of Wetzhausen, Heßberg, Schaumberg and Zufraß owned the clods in Zimmerau.
