The towns of Nusplingen, Frohnstetten, Storzingen and Glashütte are part of Stetten am kalten Markt.

The area was documented early as being in the possession of the Reichenau monastery as "Stetten am kalten Markt."

After the inauguration of the firing ranges, a meadow in Meßstetten was allocated as a camping site at the edge of the restricted area.

According to the city administration, about 1,300 people per annum are transferred to the master garrison in Stetten for military service.

Even after administration of the facility was assumed by the German Federal Armed Forces, a section was reserved for the FFA until 1997.
