Ostelsheim is located at the extreme limit of the Black Forest, and around a quarter of the 923-hectare mountain area consists of forest. The municipality is surrounded by hills and forests, protecting it from bad weather. Typical of the landscape are sheep pastures, stone bars, and numerous rear belts, which are preserved in their original appearance.^{[citation needed]}

The municipality of Ostelsheim includes the villages of Ostelsheim and Sägemühle.^[2] Ostelsheim borders the municipalities Althengstett, Simmozheim, Weil der Stadt, Grafenau and Gechingen.

Ostelsheim is probably an Alemannic founding from the 4th century.^{[citation needed]} In 1357 the municipality, along with Böblingen, joined the County of Württemberg. The County of Württemberg, which eventually became known as Württemberg-Hohenzollern, became part of the newly founded State of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. After regional reorganization in 1975 Ostelsheim retained its status as a municipality.

In April 2023, Ryyan Alshebl, a Syrian refugee, was elected mayor.^[3]
