As early as 1823, a "two-story dwelling" with an oil, grinding, and plaster mill and a hemp scrubber was mentioned in the "Gebäude-Cataster" (Building Cadastre) at the Hornsteg. However, it is likely that one of the two Mössingen mills from the 15th century was already located there, as indicated by the old field names "Milgaßen" and "Unterwässerle". The current plaster mill was built in 1836 by the oil miller Johannes Neth. Before concentrating on plaster production in 1894, they also operated a grinding mill and hemp scrubber. The mill operation ceased in 1933. Next to the mill building was a barn, newly built in 1837, which was demolished in 1976. Continuing from the barn was the Spittel, which burned down in 1908.

The former Mössingen town hall was built in 1567. For a long time, the town hall was used in a variety of ways. It was the seat of the mayor, municipal officials, and a meeting place for the municipal council. Furthermore, a wine press was located in the basement until the 18th century. According to a mayoral account from 1817, the town hall served "for judicial proceedings and all sorts of municipal arrangements, also for the storage of the community's fruits, dishes, and household effects, and at the same time for use at weekly markets as a granary".

The Ikarus group has been located since autumn 2002 between Kugelbeer and Falltorstraße, on the square next to the ice cream parlor. The artist of this object is Andreas Futter from Ofterdingen.

In the Historical Knife Forge, time has stood still. It still looks as it did 100 years ago. Around 1900, the cutler Johannes Nill, known as the "Lustig" (jolly one), produced his knives here. The whole family still had to help with muscle power on the grinding mechanism when sharpening knives. In 1910, the first electric motor was acquired. Son and successor Robert Nill set up a new grinding workshop in 1920. The rooms are still preserved in their original state today.
