Career
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]
