Until the 19th century
In a document from Pope Alexander III. from the year 1178 the places "wineden inferius et superius" , Niederwinden and Oberwinden, are mentioned for the first time as property of the Waldkirch monastery of St. Margarethen . The two districts were separated from each other in 1293 when Niederwindens was sold. In 1316 the Schwarzenbergs came into possession of the Kastelburg . In 1567 Niederzüge became Austrian and belonged to the Landgraviate of Breisgau , later to the Oberamt Breisgau , in front of Austria . In 1805 both places became part of the Grand Duchy of Baden .
Community merger
On January 1, 1975, the two communities were united through the community reform to form the community of Winden im Elztal .

Culture and sights
music
In the year 1880 12 enthusiastic musicians decided to found the band in Ober winds. Appearances took place mainly on church occasions and special events in the community.
As early as 1928, the band's young musicians formed a delegation which, in their own interest, also successfully held public events.
During the two world wars, the band was still active, but the members' sense of togetherness and their love of music could not be destroyed. As early as 1947, 16 musicians began making music again and many followed their example. In 1964 (-1975) the "Elztäler Dorfmusikanten", who initially played mainly at internal events, emerged from the band. Her name and her folk ways were soon known beyond local borders.
Buildings
- The parish church of St. Stephan in Ober winds is one of the late creations of the Weinbrenner student Hans Voss . It was built between 1835 and 1842.
- The parish church of St. Leonhard in Niederimmern has previous buildings from the 11th and 13th centuries, of which wall remains were found during excavations in 1978. There is evidence of a church at this location as early as 1178. In 1278 it was a branch of the Martinskirche in Waldkirch. The church was partially destroyed in the Thirty Years War - only the sacristy and the Gothic choir arch are still preserved today. The decade-long, very meager furnishings changed when the baroque high altar, created around 1760, was brought from the Tennenbach Monastery, which was dissolved in 1806, to Niederwinde. From 1978 to 1980 the St. Leonhard Church was completely restored.
Sports
The largest sports club in Winden is the Sportfreunde Winden football club . The 1st team of SF Winden plays in the district league A1. The women's team plays as SG Winden / Simonswald in the regional league.
