The small park that stretches between the two arms of the Neckar below the Inner Bridge is called Maille. You can tell a real Esslinger by the correct pronunciation of the park name - it is actually Mallje.
The park is named after the ball game palle-malle, which came to Germany from Italy in the Baroque era and is a precursor to today's croquet. This game of skill used to be played on the floating island.

A small park that extends between the two Neckar arms below the Inner Bridge. The park is named after the ball game "palle-malle" coming from Italy in the baroque age, a forerunner of today's croquet, which was probably played here with pleasure.

The area was once regularly flooded and therefore never built.
