Historic town hall: Built in 1563 at the behest of Duke Christoph of Württemberg. Seat of the ducal officials and later mayors. Because of its size, it was also used as a grain, weighing and salt house.

The outdoor fitness park on the outskirts of the city was born out of the idea of doing something good for the population in the long term as part of a local credit institution's anniversary. The multi-generational park with robust fitness equipment is open to everyone free of charge.
