Where did the German Kalman family come from? What is the German Kalman family crest and coat of arms? When did the Kalman family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Kalman family history?
The German surname Kalman emerged in the lands that formed the modern state of Lower Saxony, which is presently bordered by the North Sea, the Hartz mountains and the Elbe and Ems rivers. Lower Saxony was previously a medieval Saxon dukedom. The name Kalman, which is a local surname, reveals that the original bearer of the name once lived, held land, or was born in this beautiful region of Lower Saxony. In the Holy Roman Empire, hereditary surnames were adopted according to fairly general rules and after the 12th century, names that were derived from localities became increasingly widespread.

Always prominent in social and political affairs, the family formed alliances with other families within the Feudal System and the nation. Ancient chronicles first mention Herman Kalleman of Bremen in the year 1476. The medieval German word "Kalle" referred to water, and was taken on in various forms as a surname all along the North Sea coast and in Westphalia. Thus chronicles also mention Johann von Calle of Bremen in 1313. Bremen, including the port city Bremerhaven, is Germany's smallest state. A bishop's residence since 787, Bremen became an archbishop's seat in 847. As early as 1358 Bremen held the status of a "Reichsstadt," an Imperial City that was subject only to the Emperor. Although some of its surrounding territory belonged to Sweden after 1648, as well as to the Kingdom of Hannover in 1715, Bremen entered the German Federation in 1815 as a Free City. Bremen was not built by Dukes or Kings, but by its own citizens -- bearers of the name participated in this city's rise to prominence as a trading center.
