Galerie Stihl Waiblingen, Art museum in Waiblingen, Germany.

Galerie Stihl Waiblingen is a municipal exhibition house specializing in works on or made of paper, opened in May 2008. Stuttgart architect Hartwig N. Schneider designed two new buildings directly on the Rems, separated by a narrow alley and wrapped in a homogeneous skin of translucent industrial glass. Inside, visitors walk on grey magnesite flooring beneath exposed concrete walls and ceilings.

The city of Waiblingen opened the gallery in May 2008; its name honours a donation from the Eva Mayr-Stihl Foundation that made the building possible. Stuttgart architect Hartwig N. Schneider designed the two new buildings by the Rems, which received the Verzinkerpreis in 2011 and the Hugo-Häring Landespreis in 2012. A third building, on the site of the former Häckermühle, opened in June 2021 with the Galeriecafé Vorratskammer and the administration.

The gallery's name honours a donation from the Eva Mayr-Stihl Foundation and points to the city of Waiblingen as its operator. A friends' association, "Freunde Galerie Stihl Waiblingen", supports the house with over 400 members. Since July 2009 a sculpture by Olafur Eliasson, the "Pavillon für Waiblingen", has stood next to the buildings and takes up the theme of water and the industrial-looking architecture.

The gallery sits between the historic town wall and the bank of the Rems, with the Kunstschule Unteres Remstal in the smaller of the two glass-clad buildings and the exhibition rooms in the larger one. The Galeriecafé Vorratskammer and the administration occupy a third new building under a large pitched roof, where the old Häckermühle once stood. Inside, visitors walk on grey magnesite screed beneath exposed-concrete walls and ceilings.

When darkness falls, light shines through the glass walls and transforms the building into a glowing structure that highlights the architecture itself. This effect reveals how the envelope of glass changes the perception of the space.
