[7] House Schüz

Description

Significance for the historical city tour:Fischer had already built the magnificent Palais by Johann Martin Vischer, Haus Reichert and Hotel Waldhorn in Calw a few years earlier.

The Palais Zahns was built in the years 1813. The house was later inherited by the Schüz family. Calw owes a special feature to a member of this family, the physician Emil Schüz: from 1871, he had many types of trees planted in the area behind the Georgenäum, in what is now the town garden, creating one of the first nature trails.

Today, the house on the market square is home to the Hermann Hesse Museum with one of the most extensive collections of exhibits on the life and work of the world-famous writer.
