In 1036 the place is called Ougheim . In 1727 a great fire destroyed most of the lower village.

(Karl) Richtberg settlement
The settlement to the west of the Rhine Valley Railway and south of the K 4946 opposite Müllheim's industrial area west of the B 3 , between Müllheim in the east and Neuchâtel in the west on the Auggener district was founded in 1922 by the Neuchâtel company Gebrüder Himmelsbach : As the former world's largest wood conservation company, it needed an alternative and expansion location mainly for the production of wooden railway sleepers and wooden masts after new buildings were built at the original Neuenburg freight yard . Neuchâtel was retained as the company address. The design for the representative administration building and the associated housing estate comes from the Karlsruhe architect Professor Karl Caesar .
In 1981, the sawing hall received the title of Technical Cultural Monument : It is part of a former Zeppelin maintenance hall, which was auctioned at the original location, the Baden-Oos airfield , dismantled into individual parts and transported by rail to Markgräflerland . It was built near Baden-Baden in 1910 by Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg AG (MAN) as an iron framework hall west of the Baden-Baden-Oos train station for Deutsche Luftschifffahrt AG (DELAG) as the first German airship passenger station. It had to be dismantled in 1920 after the First World War in accordance with the requirements of the Versailles Treaty of 1919.

Workers' houses of the Richtberg settlement
Today the company Karl Richtberg GmbH & Co. KG operates a wood sawmill in the “ sawing hall”; the commercial enterprise still has a track to the Müllheim-Mulhouse railway line . Due to changed market conditions, the company is forced to stop sawing in the third quarter of 2012 and to concentrate on its core business: the manufacture of wooden railway sleepers. Two thirds of the production is currently exported.
At the beginning of March 2009, a major catastrophe could be prevented when a fire threatened to ignite a tank with 62,000 liters of heavy fuel oil , which was used to impregnate the wooden railway sleepers.
Train accident
On the evening of April 2, 2020, a train accident occurred in Auggen with a dead train driver and three injured truck drivers on the rolling road . The freight train hit a 100-tonne concrete block on an old bridge that should have been torn down the following weekend as part of the expansion of the Rhine Valley Railway . The concrete block was on the tracks due to unexplained circumstances. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic , the train was loaded with only ten trucks. Seven truck drivers were uninjured and were accommodated in a local hotel. The route remained closed until April 8th.
