Owingen's first documentary mention can be found in the "Peterhaus Chronic" of 1134. However, the area was already in the 5th century populated by the Alemans. The district of Taisersdorf was first documented in 1155.
Through the following centuries, a close albeit not always frictionless connection with the Salem Monastery, to which the village had been subordinate since 1324.
The municipality coped well with structural change after the Second World War, and has roughly increased its population to this day. In the 1960s, Owingen was one of the first municipalities outside the larger cities on Lake Constance to have its own sewerage treatment plant.
Owingen was an independent municipality in the district of Überlingen from 1939, which in the course of the district reform on 1 January 1973 merged into the new Lake Constance District.
The municipality became internationally known when two planes collided on 1 July 2002. In the airspace above Owingen, a Bashkirian Airlines passenger aircraft (Flight 2937) collided with a DHL cargo aircraft (Flight 611). 71 people died in the accident, including many children who were travelling to Spain.
