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.

Owen is connected to the railway-system by the Teckbahn (Wendlingen–Oberlenningen). The Königlich Württembergischen Staats-Eisenbahnen built the station in 1899.^[3] There are bus connections to the neighbour communities.
