Knut von Kühlmann-Stumm (born October 17 1916 in Munich; died January 19 1977 in Bad Soden-Salmünster), was a German politician for the Free Democtratic Party.
Life
Kühlmann was the son of German entrepreneur and industrialist Richard von Kühlmann (1873–1948) and Margarete Freiin von Stumm (1884–1917). He attended school at Schloss Salem. After school he worked for a bank in Berlin. From 1936 to 1945 he served in the German Wehrmacht. After World War II he ran his own farm in Ramholz.[1] He inherited a share of family mining company Stumm brothers in Neunkirchen, Saarland.
From 1956 to 1972 Kühlmann was member of the German FDP.[2] 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,[3] joining the conservative CDU instead.
Kühlmann married Jutta von Stumm, and they had a son Magnus von Kühlmann-Stumm.[3] He died in a car accident on 19 January 1977 in Bad Soden-Salmünster.
