Geography

Winegrowing in Kallstadt, 2014.

Kallstadt is located on the German Wine Route.

It is part of the Verbandsgemeinde of Freinsheim, whose seat is in the like-named town.

The village of 1,200 inhabitants is in a region whose economy is booming. It has restaurants that can accommodate about 2,000 guests and hotels with about 400 beds. Tourists include Americans from Ramstein Air Base.[3]

History

The main street

A

winegrowers from about 79 BC to at least 383 AD. A Frankish
clan arose about 500 and its chief, Chagilo, became the village's namesake.

In 824, Kallstadt was first mentioned in records as Cagelenstat. Originally an

House of Leiningen
.

The

First French Republic annexed the region and, between 1798 and 1814, Kallstadt belonged to the French department of Mont-Tonnerre
.

Neither the

Austria and Prussia, which both annexed most of the German territories left of the Rhine. Kallstadt came under Austrian rule, but Austria quickly exchanged the area with the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816. After this agreement, Kallstadt belonged to Bavaria, which joined the German Empire
in 1871.

The (Western) Palatinate, including Kallstadt, remained Bavarian until after the end of

Federal Republic of Germany
. A referendum to restore the union of the Palatinate and Bavaria failed in 1956, and Kallstadt continues to belong to Rhineland-Palatinate.

Buildings and structures

Heinz and Trump families

The Salvatorkirche (Savior's church) of Kallstadt

Kallstadt is the ancestral home of immigrant ancestors of both the

Trump
families in the United States. The two families are related. The Trump family has resided in Kallstadt since the 17th century.

In 2015, filmmaker Simone Wendel, who is from Kallstadt (and remotely related to the Trump family), produced a documentary called Kings of Kallstadt. The film explores the relationship between the local inhabitants and their prominent relatives in the USA. Wendel showed the strong and longstanding winemaking and gastronomic tradition in Kallstadt. She suggests that the locals have more appreciation for the Heinz family, as their main product has been practical condiment, and is less abstract than Trump's real-estate business.

Steuben Day parade. Trump prolonged the interview over the preset time and promised to visit Kallstadt.[6]

The 2016 media interest about Kallstadt started in the middle of the night after the announcement of Trump's election. The local reaction has been mixed.[3] Residents are not interested in the city as a destination for Trump fans; local tourism is already flourishing.[3] Deutsche Welle notes: "[T]he villagers used to have a better opinion of Donald Trump before he started his boisterous campaign."[9]

Politics

Municipal council

The council is made up of 16 council members, who were elected at the municipal election held on 25 May 2014, and the mayor as chairman.

The municipal election held on 25 May 2014 yielded the following results:[10]

SPD CDU FWG Total
2014 4 7 5 16 seats
2009 4 6 6 16 seats
2004 4 5 7 16 seats

Coat of arms

The German blazon reads: Über goldener Zinnenmauer, darin ein roter Reichsapfel mit goldenem Reif und rotem Kreuz, beseitet von je einer blauen Schießscharte, in Blau ein rotbewehrter silberner Adler.

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess embattled, azure an eagle displayed argent armed and langued gules, and Or masoned an orb of the third banded of the field and ensigned with a cross fleuretty of the third, this last between two arrowslits of the first.

Kallstadt's oldest known seal dates from 1494 and bears as

Wittelsbach bendy lozengy pattern (slanted diamond shapes alternating in tincture between argent and azure, that is, silver and blue) accompanied by a small letter K in base. In 1506, something similar to the current arms appeared when another seal showed an eagle above a wall. This reflected the village's incorporation into the Leiningen holdings. A similar composition prevailed until 1711 when a seal charged simply with a globus cruciger appeared. This stood for the Counts Palatine, possibly putting its origin before 1506. On 15 January 1845, a coat of arms that might be described as "Azure an orb ensigned with a cross Or", that is, a blue escutcheon bearing a golden globus cruciger with a cross on top, was granted as the municipality's arms. On 22 June 1962, however, the current arms combining the charges of these last arms and the 1506 seal were granted.[11]
