Dear Members and Guests:
We would like to invite you to join us for a visit to Waiblingen, a walled town on the river
Rems not far from Stuttgart. Having been saved from destruction in WWII it gives us an
excellent opportunity to get a feel for times past and see a lovely and picturesque part of
Waiblingen, an old and very historic Württemberg town.

On Saturday, September 17, 2016 we will meet at 14:30 next to the Galerie Stihl Waiblingen
at the Haus der Stadtgeschichte, “House of the Town‘s History“, where we will start with a
look into the history of Waiblingen. This is the oldest house in town and has been used for
many things over the past 500 years years including a leather tannery and living space for
workers and guest workers. In addition to many aspects of everyday life in Waiblingen, the
museum documents how the interior of this half-timbered house was constructed to provide
living and working spaces, including the only heated room in the building. Note: Although the
museum has excellent written descriptions, they are only in German. Therefore we will offer
one tour with English explanations for those who cannot read German.
We will all then gather together again outside at 16:00 for two walking tours, one in English
and one in German, of the Medieval City of Waiblingen. Following the tours we will walk
across the lovely park along the Rems to the “Remsstube” in the Bürgerzentrum for dinner
at approximately 18:00. There we will enjoy a selection of Swabian meal choices from a
small à la carte menu.
For this event there is no cost for members. Cost for non-members will be € 5. For parking
instructions and public transportation please see page 2.
