From 1728, the Palm'sche Schloss was the residence of the Barons von Palm. The castle dates back to a manor house built around 1595, which was rebuilt and expanded several times. The castle complex included outbuildings, stables, and kitchen gardens, as well as the well from 1735. Since 1990, the district town hall of the Mühlhausen district has been established here.

The Hofen weir clearly marks the transition from the „Bonatz weirs“ to those of the 1950s: the roller weir, probably co-designed by Bonatz, has the weir bridge over the downstream for the first time since 1927. In the lock built in 1957, a lift-and-turn and a lift-and-slide gate are combined. In the impoundment area is the Max-Eyth-See, which was created in 1935 for a water sports exhibition accompanying the Neckar canalization.
