About
Our Landmarks
Hermann Hesse is one of the most widely read authors in the German language. In his home town of Calw in the Black Forest, many buildings commemorate the Nobel Prize winner and his stories. The city tour shows places where he lived and places that he described so inimitably in his stories.
Calw probably owes the best compliment it has ever received to the poet of world-famous novels and stories such as "Unterm Rad", "Demian", "Siddhartha" and "Steppenwolf", who was born here on the market square, directly opposite the town hall, on July 2, 1877. July 1877: "Between Bremen and Naples, between Vienna and Singapore, I have seen many a pretty town, towns by the sea and towns high on mountains, and from many a fountain I have drunk a drink as a pilgrim, which later gave me the sweet poison of homesickness. But the most beautiful town of all that I know is Calw on the Nagold, a small, old, Swabian Black Forest town." The image of the town center is still shaped by the past - a stroll through the winding alleyways and narrow streets, across the Nikolausbrücke bridge, the market square or up the countless steps of the stone staircase will allow you to see Calw through the eyes of Hermann Hesse. Discover the quiet corners that Hermann Hesse loved!
