Ohmden is a municipality in the district of Esslingen in Baden-Württemberg in Germany.

Neighboring municipalities are starting from North clockwise: Schlierbach, Hattenhofen, Zell unter Aichelberg, all district Göppingen and Holzmaden and Kirchheim unter Teck, both in the district of Esslingen.

The municipality includes the village of Ohmden and the courtyards Lindenhof and Talhof.

Ohmden is the first time documented under the name "Amindon" in 1125 in San Rotulus Petrinus, a parchment of the monastery of the Abbey of Saint Peter in the Black Forest. It describes a barter transaction in which Conrad I, Duke of Zähringen assigned the place to the monastery. Later, the village fell to the monastery Adelberg. Ecclesiastical it belonged to Kirchheim unter Teck. Since 1938 Ohmden belonged to the district Nürtingen, and since 1973 to the district of Esslingen.

Since the Reformation Ohmden is Protestant coined. To date, the majority of citizens are Protestant. However, there is since 2002 the Catholic Community Centre St. Markus, where regular Catholic services take place. St. Markus is affiliated with the Church St. Ulrich in Kirchheim unter Teck.

The coat of arms shows Ohmden in black a six-pointed star with a horseshoe on a yellow shield. What is certain is that the star was a different area to crest with a horseshoe symbol that repeatedly returned to Württemberg, introduced only to distinguish and has no historical significance. The current coat of arms was awarded on 11 December 1973 by the Ministry of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg.

Ohmden has its own primary school. Older students have to go to the neighboring towns to attend secondary schools.

Especially worth seeing is the Protestant Church of St. Cosmas and Damian from the 17th century. It contains four altar wings pictures of Thomas Schick, that show scenes from the life of the two Saints Cosmas and Damian and are built around 1500.

Fossils can be found at the Museum of Natural History Hauff in Holzmaden. Ohmdenosaurus is named after the municipality.
