The Ooswinkel in the western town of Baden-Baden is a settlement on the type of garden cities . It was created according to plans by Paul Schmitthenner .
The Black Forest Road runs parallel to the so-called motorway feeder (part of the B 500 ). On the area behind the houses with the numbers 1 to 41, the Oos makes an arc of approx. 50 °. The area between Oosbogen and Schwarzwaldstraße was selected at the beginning of the 20th century by socially committed citizens of the spa town in order to build a workers' settlement there in the style of garden cities.
The houses with an economical but functional floor plan were to be embedded in gardens and green spaces in order to enable the workers to live more healthily.
The non-profit building cooperative Baden-Baden, founded in 1912, began building the first houses in 1920.
The co-initiator of this cooperative was the doctor, psychoanalyst and writer Georg Groddeck (1866–1934), who had been practicing in Baden-Baden since 1900 and was chairman of the building cooperative's supervisory board until he was forced to resign by the Nazis in 1933.
Kapellmattstrasse extends parallel to Schwarzwaldstrasse. Branching off from this, Hirschackerstraße runs in a curve similar to the Oos, before flowing back into Kapellmattstraße. More than 100 houses, mostly two-story single-family houses, have been built.
The houses on Schwarzwaldstrasse 1 to 41 have their gardens in the direction of Kapellmattstrasse, those on Kapellmattstrasse in the direction of Schwarzwaldstrasse, so that there is a colorful mixture of gardens with numerous connecting paths.
The gardens of the houses on Hirschackerstraße face the Oos and can be viewed from a footpath that runs along the Oos.
