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 houses the city library and serves as a meeting point for residents in the heart of the old town. It blends modern functions with its historical surroundings and shapes how the marketplace looks and feels.
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 vertical support elements of the facade deliberately reference the half-timbered houses of the old town, creating a dialogue between modern form and local architecture. This design detail shows how the building fits into its historical setting despite appearing visually distinct.
