The place was first mentioned in a deed of donation from the Reichenau monastery in 973. On December 1, 1971, Mauenheim was incorporated into Immendingen, with which it moved on January 1, 1973 from the Donaueschingen district to the enlarged Tuttlingen district.

Mauenheim became known as the first bioenergy village in Baden-Württemberg (on the grid since November 1, 2006) and, after Jühnde in Lower Saxony, the second in Germany. The biogas plant and wood chip heating is supplemented by a photovoltaic system. A company was set up to finance and operate the project. According to calculations by the operators, the project should save around 1900 t CO 2 per year.

Today Mauenheim has around 100 households with around 430 inhabitants.
