Waiblingen, Administrative district capital in Stuttgart region, Germany

Located on the river Rems and surrounded by vineyards, Waiblingen serves as the capital of the Rems-Murr district in Baden-Württemberg state.

The town received its charter in 1250 and was connected to the Salian kings, later experiencing severe destruction during the Thirty Years' War in 1634.

The central marketplace features traditional German half-timbered buildings dating from 1640 to 1700, representing the regional architectural style of Baden-Württemberg.

Waiblingen houses the headquarters of Stihl, a major chainsaw manufacturer, and two Robert Bosch factories, providing employment opportunities for its 56,081 residents.

The name Waiblingen became a battle cry during medieval conflicts, used by the Hohenstaufen dynasty of Swabia during the 1140 Siege of Weinsberg.
