Kallstadt (German pronunciation: [ˈkalʃtat]) is a village in the Palatine part of Rhineland-Palatinate, one of Germany's 16 federal states. It is part of the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region which is centered around the city of Mannheim, the capital of the Electoral Palatinate and Germany's 22nd largest city. During much of the 19th century, it was part of the principality of Bavaria. Kallstadt has a long-standing background as a Edelweinort, a place where noble wines are produced, sold, and consumed. It is one of the tourist destinations along the German Wine Route/Deutsche Weinstraße.
It has gained international media attention as the ancestral home of the paternal lines of the immigrant ancestors of the Heinz and Trump families, two prominent business and political families in the United States.
Kallstadt is located on the German Wine Route.
It is part of the Verbandsgemeinde of Freinsheim, whose seat is in the like-named town.
Its wine production established Kallstadt's reputation early on, as an Edelweinort (place of noble wine) and several wine houses.
