I think you can translate it as OR, but you have to use some DISTINCT on 
output rows (because you use UNION and not UNION ALL).
Without DISTINCT it is like:
SELECT 
H1.OID HISTORIEOID
,FAHRZEUG.AMTLICHESKENNZEICHEN
,FAHRZEUG.OID
,H1.PRODUKT
,H1.AUFTRAGSPOSITIONSNR
,H1.MYTECHOBJEKT
FROM FAHRZEUG, HISTORIE H1
WHERE FAHRZEUG.OID = H1.MYTECHOBJEKT(+)
AND (   (TO_DATE(H1.DATUMSTR,'YYYY-MM-DD') = (
                select max(TO_DATE(H1.DATUMSTR,'yyyy-mm-dd')) from historie, FAHRZEUG 
                WHERE FAHRZEUG.OID = HISTORIE.MYTECHOBJEKT 
                AND HISTORIE.MYTECHOBJEKT=H1.MYTECHOBJEKT)
        AND H1.PRODUKT IN ('HU', 'AU')
        )
OR
H1.PRODUKT IN('DS', 'NFZ','BES', 'DekraSiegel', '700000', '700202'))
;

And I think you can change
select max(TO_DATE(H1.DATUMSTR,'yyyy-mm-dd'))
to
select TO_DATE(MAX(H1.DATUMSTR),'YYYY-MM-DD')
it can now use index on column H1.DATUMSTR (or create function based index)
