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.

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.
