Holzbronn is a district of the large district town of Calw in Baden-Württemberg and is located on a plateau in the Heckengäu on the eastern edge of the northern Black Forest , about 10 km south of Calw.
history
The place was founded around 1150 by the Counts of Calw as a settlement of Holtzspronn . The village was first mentioned in 1345 when Holzbronn came to the county of Württemberg . In 1381 the first church was built, which was significantly expanded in 1758. The first school house was built in 1830.
Since 1536 the place had the status of an independent municipality. As part of the Baden-Württemberg community reform , Holzbronn was incorporated into Stammheim on June 1, 1972 . With Stammheim Holzbronn came to Calw-Hirsau on January 1, 1975, which was renamed Calw on January 1, 1976.
The village still has its own local administration. The mayor is Patrick Sekinger. In 1987 Holzbronn was a federal prize winner in the “Beautiful Communities” competition.
Surrounded by orchards , Holzbronn has retained its village character to this day and has only expanded a little beyond its original village limits. Although agriculture still plays a role, the majority of those in work earn their living outside the town.
On the outskirts there is an important Homag Group plant that manufactures woodworking machines. This location was founded in 1971 under the name Holzma by Erwin Jenkner. At times this company was one of the most important employers in the Calw district.

Worth seeing
One of the sights is the Protestant Bernhardskirche , with this name since 1998. It was built between 1907 and 1908 according to plans by senior building officer Heinrich Dolmetsch († 1908) and his son Theodor and is the focus of the Protestant residents who make up the Stammheim-Holzbronn parish in the church district Calw-Nagold belong to the Evangelical Church in Württemberg . 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".
In the northwest of Holzbronn, the Xanderklinge flows partly as a torrent with a steep gradient down into the valley, where it flows into the Nagold . A beaten path leads along the Xanderklinge, but is sometimes difficult to walk. Over 3 m high waterfalls and 10 m high rock walls can be discovered there. An adventure trail along the Xanderklinge is to be expanded as part of gentle tourism.
