The Protestant clubhouse, named after Johann Valentin Andreä (1587-1654), dean of Calw and later court preacher in Stuttgart, was previously a wool warehouse belonging to the Calw armory trading company. Opposite, in Biergasse, Hermann Hesse´s brother Hans began a commercial apprenticeship with Johannes Hinderer (*1869) in October 1896. Samuel
Leukardt, the “Sammetwedel” in the story “Ein Knabenstreich” (A Boy´s Pranks), had his shop there.
