Due to its favorable location, the place was settled early and is considered one of the oldest settlements in the region. There are archaeological finds of a Celtic settlement from the 5th century BC. A Roman villa rustica was excavated in the area of ​​the Protestant youth home . Alemannic graves were discovered in 1973 . From Stammheim, the Black Forest was Christianized towards the west, and a branch church was built in Kentheim .

The first documentary mention comes from around 830. In the Middle Ages the village belonged to the Hirsau Monastery and came to the Duchy of Württemberg during the Reformation . In the valley there was a Niederadelsburg, which was partially excavated in 1968/69 by the then State Office for the Preservation of Monuments. Shortly before the end of the Second World War , about 40% of the historic core of Stammheim was destroyed in an Allied air raid and a subsequent fire, killing five people.

As part of the Baden-Württemberg community reform , Stammheim was incorporated into Calw-Hirsau on January 1, 1975. On January 1, 1976, the name of the town was changed from Calw-Hirsau to Calw.

  • The Martinskirche of the Evangelical Parish Stammheim-Holzbronn in the center of the village is the oldest building. It is the spiritual center of the local community belonging to the Calw-Nagold church district in the Evangelical Church in Württemberg . The tower was built in the 11th century and heightened at the end of the 17th century, the choir vault probably dates from the 15th century. The well-preserved frescoes are also worth seeing . A previous church already belonged to the Hirsauer Stiftsgut in 830, to which it was incorporated in 1326. Today's church is a late baroque building from 1790 with the choir tower of the previous church. 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.

  • The Schlössle was built in 1288 and in the 14th century was owned by the barons of Waldeck Castle , later owned by the Hirsau Monastery . After a fire around 1400 it was rebuilt and expanded in 1491 by the abbot Blasius von Hirsau with a new building. Today's main house was built in 1746.
