Owen (German pronunciation: [ˈaʊ.ən], see below) is a town in the district of Esslingen in Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany. It is located 40 kilometres (25 mi) southeast of Stuttgart and 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) south of Kirchheim unter Teck.

Pronunciation

[edit]

The name's pronunciation contradicts ordinary German orthographic rules and is more similar to English standard pronunciation. The name derives from the old word "Aue", meaning floodplain, and kept its ancient pronunciation.

Traffic

[edit]

Owen is connected to the railway system by the Teck Railway (Wendlingen–Oberlenningen). The Royal Württemberg State Railway built the station in 1899.[3] There are bus connections to the neighbouring communities.

Through Owen leads Federal Road B 465 from Kirchheim unter Teck to Blaubeuren. Highway A 8 is three miles away, at junction Kirchheim-Ost.
