The name „Kalter“ derives from the German word „keltern“, which means making wine, or, more correctly, harvesting and, especially, pressing and storing wine. The family, at least as the references have it so far dating back to the 18th century, originates from the small settlement of Arzheim near Coblenz, Germany, which has since become part of that city. A fair number of ancestors have worked in the winemaking industry up to the middle of the 19th century. | The name „Kalter“ derives from the German word „keltern“, which means making wine, or, more correctly, harvesting and, especially, pressing and storing wine.

Coblenz is situated at the confluence of the rivers Rhine and Mosel. These two rivers are denoted by the interlocking golden and green spirals on the shield, which symbolise not only watery movements but also the growth of grapevine. The bunch of grapes in the foreground at the shield´s base forms the symbolical bedrock of the coat of arms and, cantingly, alludes to the family´s name. Also, with the grapes being counterchanged Or-Vert, they symbolically merge with the two rivers and echo the two colours of white wine and its foliage, which this region is particularly known for, during the year´s seasons. | Coblenz is situated at the confluence of the rivers Rhine and Mosel.
