The salt house was rebuilt in 1696. From the 15th century to 1807, the Württemberg municipalities had the task of supplying the population with salt. In Calw the “white gold” was found in the “salt box” behind the town hall
stored, where the council office was also located. Since 1730, a private Calw trading company had the privilege of trading salt. Initially under the leadership of Martin Notter and later, with interruptions, under that of his son, the company had the right to import salt from Bavaria to Württemberg. Johann Martin Notter Jr. died in 1802 as one of the richest men in the Duchy of Württemberg with an estate of 750,000 guilders.
