Town Hall Calw um 1890

The first town hall in this place was built in 1454. It was destroyed in 1634.

The current stone substructure of the town hall dates back to 1673.In the once open market hall grain was sold, butchers and bakers had their stalls here. When the building burned down again in 1692, the stone substructure was preserved. The upper floors were rebuilt between 1726 and 1730. in 1929, the character of the facade was changed by cutting off all the window frames of the 18th century. 

It was at this time that the figures symbolizing the three most important tasks of the city towards its citizens were placed: the figure of a knight stands for protection, the tree for the rootedness and prosperity of the community and the mother with children for care. Above the arcades are the Württemberg coat of arms on the left and the coat of arms of the town of Calw on the right.
