contents We present a detailed spectroscopic study of the $^4\mathrm{I}_{13/2}$ and $^4\mathrm{I}_{15/2}$ Er$^{3+}$ multiplets of Er:CaWO$_4$ grown without a co-dopant. Using photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation measurements, we find multiple environments into which the Erbium ions are incorporated in the crystal. For the four most prevalent environments, we provide a complete assignment of the $^4\mathrm{I}_{13/2}$ and $^4\mathrm{I}_{15/2}$ sublevel energies. Polarization-dependent absorption and emission spectroscopy allow us to identify the irreducible representations of the states and determine the dipole nature of transitions. In addition, we compare the different relaxation paths within $^4\mathrm{I}_{13/2}$ and $^4\mathrm{I}_{15/2}$ multiplets via line broadening and lifetime measurements. Finally, spectral, lifetime, and polarization measurements indicate similarities between the studied environments.
