In southern Germany, Switzerland, and Flanders, the term "Wette" (Wett, Weed, or Flemish Wedde), first documented in the Franconian and shortly thereafter in the Alemannic language area, is known. This word originally referred to a horse watering place. It is derived from *wetten*, meaning 'to drive animals into the watering place,' which in turn is derived from *waten* (thus literally meaning 'to make someone or something wade'). During the time of the Counts of Württemberg, the construction of such fire ponds was made mandatory for municipalities. (Source: Wikipedia)

From the cycle path, you can catch a glimpse of the beautiful Ummendorf natural lake. Those who wish to rest can do so here on a small bench with a view of the lake.

A pillar in the mayor's room conveys the message carved in stone: "anno domini 1426 do war daz hus angefangen und was burgermaister ulrich kudrer und baumaister." The city had around 500 inhabitants at the time, severely humiliated people, who "should be called and be dishonorable, faithless, perjured, lawless and convicted" if they rebelled against the harsh dictate of the Walburgian pledge lordship. The town hall was the reaction to this oppression. It had to be so large that it could exist alongside the castle and the monastery. And since Ulrich Kudrer was not only a good mayor but also a brilliant planner, he succeeded in transforming the citizens' distress into architectural art.
