Bibliothekssaal im Kloster Wiblingen stands in the Wiblingen Monastery near Ulm as a Rococo library hall built between 1740 and 1750. The two-storey space fills the north wing, measuring 23 metres long and 11.5 metres deep. Its undulating form, figurative decoration and gallery with a curved balustrade create a richly layered interior.

Long rows of windows illuminate sculptures by Dominikus Hermenegild Herberger and a ceiling fresco painted by Franz Martin Kuen in 1744. The fresco combines pagan and Christian sources of Western knowledge, placing a woman surrounded by angels at its centre as a symbol of divine wisdom. Around 15,000 volumes once filled the shelves, while the hall also received distinguished guests. After secularisation, the collection moved to different libraries.

White-painted or pale-paper book spines matched the room’s colour scheme and reduced costs. Above the portal, an inscription claims that all treasures of wisdom and science are gathered here.
