Kallstadt (German pronunciation: [ˈkalʃtat]) is a village in the Palatine part of Rhineland-Palatinate, one of Germany's 16 federal states.

Germany became a loose confederation of states dominated by Austria and Prussia, which both annexed most of the German territories left of the Rhine.

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

Kallstadt is the ancestral home of immigrant ancestors of both the Heinz and Trump families in the United States.

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.

The Heinz family recently provided a major donation (€40,000) for the renovation of the organ in the local church, St. Salvator, while Donald Trump did not contribute to this project.

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

Kallstadt's oldest known seal dates from 1494 and bears as charges both the Palatine Lion and the 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.
