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.
