On May 1, 1978, the previously independent municipality was incorporated into the Stadtlauringen market.

Since 2011, Oberlauringen has been a Friedrich Rückert themed village, in memory of the poet and orientalist Friedrich Rückert.

Until 1943, Oberlauringen had a larger Jewish community with a synagogue, its own school, mikveh and cemetery. A Torah scroll recovered from the remains of the Oberlauringen synagogue and hidden from the National Socialists was presented to the head of the Würzburg Jewish Community David Schuster by Bishop Josef Stangl at the inauguration of the new Würzburg synagogue in 1970. The former Federal Minister of Justice Gerhard Jahn and the rabbi and theology professor Leo Trepp had roots in Oberlauringen.

The place was within the jurisdiction of the Würzburg Monastery. The Counts of Henneberg and Wildberg, the Hutts of Birkenfeld and the Trustees of Wetzhausen were enfeoffed. In 1811 the village fell back to the Grand Duchy of Würzburg and in 1814 to Bavaria.
