In the Thirty Years' War, Owingen was destroyed by the swedes in 1634 and looted by the French in 1643.
Owingen became Baden with the Principal Conclusion of the Extraordinary Imperial Delegation and the secularization of the Salem Imperial Abbey. During the revolution, Owingen made weapons and soldiers available to the Baden Civil Armed Forces in May 1849.
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.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
