history
etymology
The name comes from Middle High German kalwe , Old High German chalawa "bald spot".
middle Ages
In the 11th century, Calw, which was first mentioned in 1075, was built around the older castle of the Counts of Calw . In the Middle Ages , Calw was an important trading town, especially with the cloth and leather trade.
Württemberg time
In 1345 the city became part of the county of Württemberg and soon became the seat of an office. A Latin school was set up before 1459. From 1500 Calw was part of the Swabian Empire . In the 16th century, the city was the summer residence of the Württemberg dukes. In 1620 Johann Valentin Andreae became superintendent in Calw, where he had more success with the reformation of schools, social services and poor relief. At that time, with around 3,500 inhabitants, Calw was half the size of Stuttgart and, thanks to its flourishing wool production, one of the economically most important cities in the old Württemberg. At the same time, social hardship prevailed among the poorer population. Andreae convinced the wealthy Calw merchants of the necessity of founding "a Christian, God-loving society" to support the poor, the sick and the youth. The so-called Calwer Färberstiftung, a social institution that existed until 1923, was created from a group of 13 men and 7,100 guilders of real estate.
During the Thirty Years' War, Calw was occupied and destroyed by imperial troops in 1634 after the defeat of the Swedes, allied with Württemberg, in the Battle of Nördlingen . Another occupation took place in 1692 during the Palatine War of Succession by the French.
In the 18th century, the timber trade ( rafting ) returned to an economic boom. In 1807, one year after the founding of the Kingdom of Württemberg , the old Württemberg Oberamt Calw was merged with the Monastery Office Hirsau, later changed several times and finally transferred to the district of Calw in 1938 during the Nazi era in Württemberg .
With the establishment of the Black Forest Railway in 1872, Calw was connected to the route network of the Württemberg State Railways .
Nazi era
In August 1941, the 17-year-old Erna Brehm from Calw was shaved in public because of her love affair with a Polish slave laborer on the market square. After serving an eight-month prison sentence in Calw and Stuttgart, she was deported to the Ravensbrück concentration camp on charges of racial shame , from which she was released in April 1944 as unfit for storage. In August 1951 she died as a result of the conditions in which she was held. In 1945 a sub-camp of the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp was set up in Calw , which was occupied by Jewish women and served as a manpower reservoir for the war industry.
post war period
After the Second World War, Calw fell into the French occupation zone and thus came to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in 1947 . In 1952, the provisional post-war state was added to the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern and has since been part of the new federal state of Baden-Württemberg.
In 1957 the district of Heumaden was founded.
With the district reform on January 1, 1973 , the district of Calw received its current size. It became part of the newly established Northern Black Forest region , which was also assigned to the newly defined administrative district of Karlsruhe . The former Württemberg city is now also administered from the former Baden capital Karlsruhe. As part of the regional reform, the municipality of Holzbronn was incorporated into Stammheim on May 1, 1972. On January 1, 1975, Calw was united with the communities of Altburg, Hirsau and Stammheim to form the town of Calw-Hirsau . With this union, the city's population exceeded the 20,000-inhabitant limit. As a result, the city administration submitted the application for a major district town , which the Baden-Württemberg state government approved with effect from January 1, 1976. On this day the new city was given the (old) name Calw.
On May 25, 2009, the city received the title “ Place of Diversity ” awarded by the federal government .

Buildings
- The historic market square is worth seeing . The oldest building on the square is the Schäberle house, which survived the destruction of the city and the city fires of 1634 and 1692 more or less unscathed. The birthplace of Hermann Hesse, Marktplatz 6, was built in 1692 by Johann Conrad Moseter. In 1697 Christoph Mayer set up a retail store in the house he had bought. To this day the building has remained a trading house.
- The Calw town hall is at Marktplatz 9, the first town hall building took place in 1454. In the 19th century, a number of renovations and changes were made. In 1929 the figures were attached to the facade. They symbolize the three most important tasks of the city towards its citizens: the figure of a knight for protection and justice, planting a tree for rooting and blossoming of the community, mother with children for care. Among the Rathausarkaden the benches or were Schrannen up (market stalls) of the bakers and butchers, today there is a modern meeting room housed whose glass facade highlights the architectural archetype. When concerns about the stability of the town hall arose in 2007, it was cleared and parts of the city administration relocated.

-
Protestant churches
- The nave of today's city church St. Peter and Paul was rebuilt in neo-Gothic style by the court building director Felix von Berner 1885–1888 after a fire in 1692, subsequent very economical and imperfect construction that took decades to complete and finally demolished in 1884 due to disrepair . The early Gothic choir of the previous church and the tower stump were retained. By 1914, several glass paintings (themes: Moses and prophets; life, suffering and resurrection of Jesus; western rosette: David with harp) were donated for the choir and made by the Munich workshops of Franz Xaver Zettler and Mayer . Further New Testament themes in the windows under the side galleries were created by Rudolf Yelin the Elder in 1930–1933 and 1959 . J.
- The oldest part of the Martinskirche Altburg , built as a fortified church, is the tower from the 12th century. The reticulated choir and the south wall are decorated with late Gothic wall paintings. In 1534 the parish Altburg became Protestant through the Reformation in Württemberg. After that, probably still at the end of the 16th century, the church was equipped with numerous seats without any expansion by installing a three-sided circumferential gallery in the nave and a north and east gallery in the choir, including floor-level choir seating, all of which are oriented towards the pulpit south inside the choir arch were; the altar was free. This facility, which was valid until 1954, complied with the requirements of the Württemberg church and church service regulations from the Reformation, according to which the preaching of the word should be at the center of the service - an example of the establishment of a transverse church in the existing building stock. During the renovation in 1954, the choir galleries and the south pore were removed and a new pulpit facing the ship and a glass painting by Adolf Valentin Saile with the motif of the mercy seat installed in the apex window . A choir organ was also set up.
- In Ernstmühl there is a small church with a roof turret in half-timbered construction, which belongs to the Hirsau parish. The layout of the high hall building as well as the interior fittings with a coffered ceiling, a gallery on bulged wooden supports and the pulpit cage point to a construction time around 1700. The sandstone surround of the entrance from around 1500 may come from the previous building or from the former Hirsau Monastery, which was destroyed a few years earlier. It was integrated as a component in the new church.
- In 1965, the Heumaden Reconciliation Church was built by architect Heinz Rall - with thick-glass concrete windows by Gerhard Dreher and a crucifix by Albrecht Kneer.
- The Marienkapelle in the former Benedictine monastery in Hirsau was the only building that remained unscathed in the great fire of 1692. A little later this gem of late Gothic architecture became a Protestant parish church. The monastery library was on the upper floor. From 1888–1892, the Württemberg senior building officer Karl von Sauter redesigned the Marienkapelle in the neo-Gothic style . The westwork, net vaults and coloring date from this time, and remnants of the colored glazing from that time have been preserved in the portal tympanum. The glass artist Wolf-Dieter Kohler created the three choir windows in 1970 (left: birth and passion of Christ; right: resurrection and ascension; center: the Lord exalted, judging and coming). The north window of the choir from around 1920 to commemorate the fallen in 1914/18 was designed by the Stuttgart artist Käte Schaller-Härlin , who had lost her recently married husband in the war in 1917.
- The Bernhardskirche Holzbronn , since 1998 with this name, was built between 1907 and 1908 according to plans by senior building officer Heinrich Dolmetsch († 1908) and his son Theodor. Formative Art Nouveau elements have been preserved or reused: the charming windows by the Stuttgart glass artist Kurt Glasche (Black Forest animal and plant ornaments ) and the original terrazzo floor . The chancel was changed during two renovations: In 1972 the axial arrangement of the font, altar and pulpit in front of an Art Nouveau picture wall had to be redesigned and a large-format mural by Rudolf Yelin the Elder. J. soft. His isosceles wooden cross with spatula-applied motifs and gold leaf was preserved during the renovation in 2006, while his mural was covered by a screen. The pagoda-like spire is affectionately known by the people of Holzbronn as the "yellow turnip".
- A predecessor church to Martinskirche Stammheim belonged to the Hirsauer Stiftsgut as early as 830, to which it was incorporated in 1326. Today's church is a late Baroque building from 1790. The choir tower of the previous church was retained. During the renovation from 1929–1931, the four-part south window (Old Testament: Jakobs Himmelsleiter, Jakob am Jabbok; New Testament: poor Lazarus and the Rich) were designed by the Stuttgart painter Berger and executed by the Wilhelm workshop in Rottweil. The glass artist Wolf-Dieter Kohler created the baptismal window, the Martin window and a narrow ornament window in 1964.
- In 1955 the mountain church Wimberg was built by architect Hermann Hornbacher and the choir windows by Rudolf Yelin the Elder. J. designed with glass paintings of New Testament mountain events.
- The Nikolausbrücke with Nikolauskapelle , which Hermann Hesse often mentions in his works and was a favorite place of his childhood, was built in 1400 in the Gothic style . In 1926, during the renovation by Ernst Yelin, the two figures on the right and left, a cloth merchant and a raftsman, were used; they symbolize the city's former economic foundations. His brother Rudolf Yelin d. J. created glass art for five double windows (saints + family coats of arms) and two small side windows (other coats of arms from Calw families).
- The "Lange" , which protrudes far beyond the city , once served as a prison, and a guard room was housed in the tower above. The Reichert house, which used to be a toy museum, is empty. The Georgenäum was donated to the city in 1868 and was primarily intended to serve the education and training of young people.
- In the district of Hirsau there are two monasteries. The Aurelius Church - today the church of the Catholic community - is the oldest of the Hirsau monastery buildings from 1070. It has been restored and artistically designed by the sculptor Otto Herbert Hajek . The former Benedictine monastery of St. Peter and Paul was the most important German reform monastery north of the Alps during the Cluny monastery movement in the 11th and 12th centuries; it was destroyed by French troops in 1692 in the War of the Palatinate Succession . The ruins, which are of great architectural importance, contain relics from different architectural styles: the Romanesque pillar basilica, which was once the largest Romanesque church in southwest Germany, the Gothic cloister, the late Gothic St. Mary's Chapel and the ruins of a Renaissance castle, with the famous Hirsau elm within the four outer walls that have been preserved until 1989 to which Ludwig Uhland dedicated his poem Ulmenbaum in 1829 .
- On the edge of the Stammheim district, between wooded hills on the stream of the Schlittenbach, is the Untere Mühle , with the largest overshot wooden mill wheel in Europe (11.5 m diameter). The year "1853" is carved into the door frame of the mill barn.
- In the city forest in the west of the city is the Calw scaffold , an execution site built around 1800 and only used for a short time.
- Also in the forest to the northwest of the village of Hirsau is the Nagoldtal transmitter , a filler transmitter for Südwestrundfunk .

"The Hermann Hesse City"
Calw describes itself as "The Hermann-Hesse-Stadt" and uses this attribute at the same time as a claim for self-confident self-promotion.
