Calw lies on the Nagold River in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, where the northern Black Forest gathers around a narrow valley. The town is closely associated with writer Hermann Hesse, who was born here in 1877; the Hermann Hesse Museum traces his connection with Calw and the setting that shaped his early years. Half-timbered houses define much of the old centre around the market square, giving the town a distinctly Swabian character. In Hirsau, now part of Calw, the ruins of the former Benedictine monastery of St Peter and Paul recall a medieval religious centre of wide influence.
