Re: Hallman? by Jim Young |
In German, there is another possible interpretation of the element HALL: salt mine. So HALLMANN could have been someone working in such a mine or a factory producing salt.
In Grimm's dictionary I found this:
HALLKNECHT, m. arbeiter im salzwerke zu Halle a. S. HOHNDORF beschreibung des salzwerks; s. hallor.
HALLMEISTER, m. siedemeister (boiler) in einem salzwerk.
