Marktdreieck Waiblingen, Modern architectural building in Waiblingen, Germany

The Marktdreieck is a modern building with a triangular base in Waiblingen, distinguished by a distinctive exterior with geometric elements. The structure combines reinforced concrete with a special surface pattern that emphasizes its contemporary design.

The building was constructed in 1976 according to architect Wilfried Beck-Erlang's design and has shaped the townscape since then. In 2014, it received recognition as a cultural monument for its architectural importance from that era.

The building is named Marktdreieck, meaning "market triangle", after its triangular footprint in the old town. Today it holds the Stadtbücherei Waiblingen, the municipal Ordnungsamt and the Osiandersche Buchhandlung; a textile cleaner, a restaurant and a Schlecker drugstore branch once occupied the premises.

Access is straightforward from the marketplace and the building sits centrally in the pedestrian area. Opening hours for the library inside vary, so it is worth checking in advance if you plan a specific visit.

The building appears in Tatort episode No. 203, "Sein letzter Wille", as the editorial office of the fictional newspaper Neckarbote. Its striking geometry made it a recognisable filming location in the old town.
