Just by the way: the S-Bahn trains from Stuttgart Airport to Stuttgart Hbf (main station) are also run by Deutsche Bahn. So, you can buy a single ticket directly from the airport to your final destination, Giengen. You can either buy it online and print it out before your trip, or you can buy it from one of the Deutsche Bahn ticket machines at the airport. (The machines can be switeched to an English user interface and also take credit cards, so this is a good option.) The S-Bahn trains from the airport to the main station leave at xx:08, xx:18, xx:38 and xx:48 and take 31 minutes for the trip.

Since the arrival time of your flight is slightly variable, as is the wait time for baggage, I would actually suggest that you buy your rail ticket at the airport. The ticket machine will actually then compute the best itinerary for you at that specific departure time, which you can also print out and take with you. It generally also includes the arrival and departure platforms you will use, and notifies you if any of your trains are so late that the connections are endangered.
