Winden is a municipality in the district of Emmendingen in Baden-Württemberg in Germany.

In a document by Pope Alexander III dating to 1178, the church mentioned a place called "wineden inferius et superius"[citation needed] which refers to Niederwinden and Oberwinden (lower and upper Winden in German), first as a possession of the monastery of Waldkirch, as mentioned by St. Margaret.

In 1567 Austria took over Oberwinden and made it a part of the Habsburg possession in the Breisgau region of Further Austria[citation needed].

By 1805 both districts were part of the Grand Duchy of Baden.

On 1 January 1975 the two communities were brought together through local government reform to create the community of Winden im Elztal.
