The best traffic-free bike rides around Weinstadt

As early as 1356, a "Bruggentor" (bridge gate) was documented at this location. The present tower, built in 1491, served as the eastern bridge gate directly on the Rems. It protected the city from attackers, while the tower keeper monitored the surrounding area from the top floor. The sandstone coat of arms of Count Eberhard im Bart from the year of construction can still be seen on the outside today.

Bürgermühle an der Rems (Bürgermühlenweg 7) The 'Obere-' or 'Bürgermühle', also called 'Hahnsche Mühle' after the last owner family, is one of the few buildings that survived the great city fire of 1634 unscathed and is thus one of the oldest still preserved buildings in the old town. The first documented mention of a mill at this location dates back to the 13th century. The coat of arms stone with the year and a double 'W' above the portal below the church bridge is a reminder that the mill was rebuilt in 1574 and that the city of Waiblingen received the property as a fief of Württemberg. Floods, low water, and especially log driving often hindered operation, so the Bürgermühle was only operational for about 9 months a year. From 1806 in private ownership, it was converted into an art mill in 1857 and expanded in 1868 by a large extension (demolished in 1990). Milling operations ceased in 1918. In 1972, the property along with the two associated mill islands (today 'Große Erleninsel' and 'Kleine Erleninsel') was purchased by the city. The municipal utility company renewed the old water wheel for demonstration purposes; electricity is generated here today via a turbine in the mill race.

There are many beautiful places to linger here.

One of the most historically significant mill complexes in the Rems-Murr district. The main building features a beautiful portal, a solid, extensively remodeled barn likely of late medieval origin, and an additional half-timbered mill building dating from 1857. The Häcker Mill takes its name from the members of the Häcker family, originally from Nußdorf near Vaihingen/Enz, who resided at the mill from 1708 onwards. They initially operated the mill as a fief of the Duchy of Württemberg and, at the latest by 1837, as its owners. The millers were always among the wealthiest citizens of the village and repeatedly held the office of village headman. The ensemble of main building, barn, and large outbuilding is one of the oldest and most important historical mill complexes in the Rems-Murr district.

The Sanitas Herb Garden e.V. and the Garden of the Senses were planned, designed and created by Eva Strehl with the help of volunteers between 1998 and 2002.

Beutelsbach's Old Town Hall was built in 1534 over what was likely an older vaulted cellar. The building originally probably had an open ground-floor hall. Around 1577, structural alterations took place, during which the ground-floor exterior walls were likely constructed. Large sections of the primary structure, as well as the entire roof framework, have been preserved from the 16th century. According to inscriptions, further construction work was carried out in the 17th century. The roof turret was added in 1691. Further structural changes in the 19th and 20th centuries mostly involved minor alterations. The last major project was the conversion of the first attic level in the 1980s.
