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.

It all started in December 1967, when the poplar was felled for the first boat - it all began at the children's home in Münster. Together with educator Peter Sonder (*1931, † 2016), young people carved the first wooden boat out of this poplar - a so-called dugout canoe. From 1967 to '69, they built the outrigger boat based on South Sea models. It was christened "Tigekadopemic", a compound name from the initial letters of the builders (Till, Gerd, Karl, Dorle, Peter, Michael, Claudio). The boat was launched for the first time in 1969. So that this and other boats would find a suitable home, the boathouse was built in 1971 at the Max-Eyth-See. The "Bootshausschuppen" (boathouse shed) was ceremoniously opened on July 10, 1971. New boats were added, old ones had to withstand the weather. They sailed, went kayaking and canoeing, and even back then, there was a weekly supervised, open paddling offer. The "Tigekadopemic" made its last tour in 1986 on the Max-Eyth-See. In addition to smaller outrigger boats, there were two sailing dinghies and surfboards at that time. These were made available then, as they are today, to children, young people, and institutions.

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.
