The Schlössle (Swabian for "little castle") in Pfullingen, in the Reutlingen district of Baden-Württemberg, is a late medieval half-timbered building built in the 15th century by the Remp family, a local nobleman from Pfullingen. Today, it houses the town's history museum and is one of the town's most famous buildings. The Schlössle should not be confused with Pfullingen Castle, which is located about 130 meters northwest. The Schlössle is located in Pfullingen on a hilltop in the Schlösslespark, named after it, above the Echaz River and in the immediate vicinity of the Baumann Mill. Together with the Schlösslesscheuer (small castle barn) opposite and the Doctor's House, it forms a building ensemble in the center of the park. The building consists of a base floor made of fieldstone masonry and a two-story half-timbered extension that projects approximately 40 cm on all sides and measures approximately 12.5 meters by 8.0 meters. A vaulted cellar extends approximately halfway down the building, accessible only via an external staircase. The roof is a half-hipped roof with owl holes for smoke extraction, and is now covered with plain shingles. The building does not have a chimney. The basement consists of a single room with a pointed arch door, illuminated only by narrow window openings. It contains two wooden pillars that support the structure. The upper floor is not accessible via the basement but must be entered via a covered external staircase. It follows a three-aisled structure: on either side of the Ern, which runs perpendicular to the street, are two rooms. On the right side, as seen from the entrance, is the living room at the front and the former kitchen at the rear. On the left side are two chambers. The living room has a vaulted beamed ceiling and a protruding band of windows running around the corner, a so-called Alemannic bay window. From the outside, this room layout, including the vaulted living room ceiling, is clearly visible in the timber framing. The space between the ceiling of the room and the floor of the room above was filled with chaff to insulate the room, which, apart from the kitchen, was the only heated room in the building. Countless snail shells were found in the floor of the room, which are believed to have also served as thermal insulation. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schl%C3%B6ssle_(Pfullingen)

The Baumann Mill in Pfullingen, in the Reutlingen district of Baden-Württemberg, is a listed former grain mill on the Echaz River. It was built in 1799 and used until 1963; from 1941 onward, it served as a power plant. In 1988, it was restored and converted into a mill museum. The mill's equipment in the main building extends over four floors. Next to the main building is a smaller annex, which houses the wheel room with the medium-shot water wheel. A fish ladder also runs through the wheel room. During the restoration, the mill was converted back to a grain mill. This involved combining parts from various Pfullingen mills: The mill wheel originally came from the Gipsmühle (Gypsum Mill) on Große Heerstraße. The mill's equipment, which is still in working order today, was taken from the Haydsche Mühle (Hyd Mill) on Klosterstraße. Both mills have since been demolished. The mill's former residential area now houses the Württemberg Costume Museum of the Swabian Alb Association, which also serves as an information center for the Swabian Alb Biosphere Reserve. The mill room on the ground floor serves as an event venue. The engine is still used to generate electricity and can deliver up to 18 kW at full load. In 2009, filming for the television series "Laible und Frisch" took place at the Baumann Mill. The Baumann Mill represented the Häberlesmühle (Häberles Mill).

The Pfullingen Women's Uprising on April 20, 21, and 22, 1945, was an act of resistance against National Socialism and marked the end of World War II in the southern German town of Pfullingen. When the French First Army occupied Reutlingen on April 20, 1945, some residents in the neighboring town of Pfullingen to the south began removing all tank barriers to allow the French forces to enter the town without causing damage. When combat commander Julius Kieß attempted to prevent this, a protest march of angry women reached Pfullingen's town hall. Kieß was overpowered by the women and fled. On April 22, 1945, the women of Pfullingen surrendered the town to the French almost without a fight, thus preventing the town's destruction. According to some historians, Sophie Schlegel played a special role in this, walking toward the French in a white dress (see truce flag). In view of the impending defeat in World War II, the measures of the Nazi regime became increasingly extreme and relentless from 1944 onwards. Young and old members of the Volkssturm were now required to serve in the war in order, according to Adolf Hitler's order of September 25, 1944, to "defend the homeland with all weapons and means deemed suitable." With the creation of the Werwolf organization, an attempt was made – also in the Reutlingen area – to create a partisan underground movement that would continue the fight against the occupiers even after the occupation of Germany. During this period, countless final-phase crimes occurred, in which both (German) soldiers and officials, as well as civilians, were executed as traitors. The mere presence in a building from which a white flag was displayed carried the death penalty – at least for men – (Heinrich Himmler's so-called Flag Order).
