The village of Oos has always been of particular importance to the city of Baden-Baden, even when it only existed as a settlement without municipal boundaries. This emerges from written documents from 1245, in which it is stated that the tenth share of the Oos settlement is to be paid as a levy to the Lichtenthal monastery newly founded by Margravine Irmengard .

The settlement itself is much older, as evidenced by a Roman consecration stone , which was dedicated to Diana , the goddess of the hunt , and which was found in Oos in 1794. The Romans had already recognized the convenient location of the place in the plain in front of the Black Forest and under Emperor Trajan built the military road leading north from Basel through Oos.

In the Middle Ages , the influence of power on the settlement changed primarily between the Lichtenthal monastery and the respective margraves of Baden. In 1634, the strategic value of the place was once again demonstrated when the Catholic Margrave Wilhelm von Baden-Baden defeated his Protestant Durlach cousin and the Swedish occupation troops in the battle on the Oos blood field and with it the foreign rule of his margraviate during his thirties Put an end to the war .

At the beginning of the 19th century, Oos, a clustered village with more than 100 houses, got its own local boundaries and in 1844 a train station. From there, the guests were transported to Baden-Baden by horse-drawn busses, until a year later a branch line from Oos to Baden-Baden was built, which was in operation until 1977. After that, the station in Oos became the " Baden-Baden station ".

In 1910, Oos caused a worldwide sensation when the first airship hangar was put into operation on the airfield founded the previous year. As a result of the Versailles Treaty , the hall was auctioned off for 295,000 marks for demolition. A part of it is still being used in Auggen by the woodworking company Karl Richtberg GmbH & Co. KG as a sawmill hall. The airfield Baden-Oos developed after the Second World War at a busy commercial airport . In 1997, as a result of the establishment of the Karlsruhe / Baden-Baden regional airport, it was rededicated as a special landing site for the resident aviation clubs. A large part of the area freed up as a result will be converted into commercial space, which will increase Oos' importance as an industrial location.

The companies based in Oos include Grenke AG , Eaton Germany GmbH (formerly Aeroquip), Biologische Heilmittel Heel and Sans Soucis.

The European Media and Events Academy (EurAka) is housed in the former Cité , the district that was formerly inhabited by members of the French occupying forces. The Shopping-Cité shopping center was opened in November 2006 and the Office for Family, Social Affairs and Youth was set up together with the Employment Office. In 2015 a multiplex cinema opened in the Cité.

With OSG Baden-Baden , a multiple German chess champion and cup winner is based in Baden-Oos .
