Waiblingen, Administrative district capital in Stuttgart region, Germany
Description
Waiblingen is the administrative seat of the Rems-Murr district in Baden-Württemberg, sitting on the right bank of the river Rems. The town spreads across gentle hills with vineyards and houses several industrial sites among residential neighborhoods and older districts.
History
The settlement received its town charter in 1250 and had been connected to the Salian kings since the 11th century. In 1634 imperial troops destroyed much of it during the Thirty Years' War.
Culture
The name comes from an Old High German personal name combined with -ing, meaning "among the people of Wibald". Local residents gather at the central market square where vendors sell regional produce from the Rems valley.
Practical
The town center lies on the right riverbank and is easily walkable, with main streets radiating from the market square. Visitors can reach the vineyards above town that offer views over the Rems valley.
Did you know?
The town name became a battle cry for the Hohenstaufen dynasty during the 1140 Siege of Weinsberg. At that time a rivalry emerged between supporters of the Welfs who shouted "Welf" and the Staufers who used "Waiblingen" as their rallying call.
