Kühlmann was born 17 October 1916, in Munich. He was the son of German entrepreneur and industrialist Richard von Kühlmann (1873–1948) and Margarete Freiin von Stumm (1884–1917).[1] His father served as State Secretary for Foreign Affairs,[2] who was Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire and the Netherlands.[3][4] His maternal grandfather was Baron Hugo Rudolf von Stumm, a German industrialist, landowner, member of the state parliament and Prussian cavalry officer.[5]
As an infant, he inherited Ramholz Castle upon his mother's death. He attended school at Schloss Salem. After school he completed a two year banking apprenticeship in Berlin.[6]
Career[edit]
From 1936 to 1945 he served in the German Wehrmacht. After World War II he ran his own farm in Ramholz.[7] He inherited a share of family mining company Gebrüder Stumm in Neunkirchen, Saarland.[6]
From 1956 to 1972, Kühlmann was member of the German FDP.[8][9] From 1960 he was member of German Bundestag. During the period of the Kiesinger cabinet, Kühlmann-Stumm served as opposition leader from 1966 to 1968. He left the FDP because of its support for the Ostpolitik of chancellor Willy Brandt,[10] joining the conservative CDU instead.
