Klaumann Information:
The research into the surname Klaumann brings us to the modern German state of Schleswig-Holstein. Schleswig, the homeland of the Cimbern, Angeln, Jutes, and Frisians, was included in the empire of the Franks as the "Danemark", a northern border protectorate against the power of the Danes. The Franks also formed three dioceses: Schleswig,Rendsberg, and Eutin. Holstein was the origin of the Saxons, and its pre-Christian history is that of the northern German region of Lower Saxony. The Danemark, however, was granted to the Danes by Emperor Conrad II (990-1039), and the remainder of Schleswig-Holstein's history has revolved around the political question of Danish or German control of this region.
In 1386 the House of Schauenburg acquired it as a vassal state from the Danish King. Since 1459 the Danish Kings were also Dukes of Holstein and as such they were also "Reichsfuersten" (Princes of the German Empire). Their loyalty to the Empire did not stop them from occupying German lands, such as Pomerania and Mecklenburg. In 1460, the Danish King Christian I was elected count of Holstein and Duke of Schleswig, with the condition that the two lands were not to be divided. In fact, the Danish Royal House of Sonderburg-Gluecksburg originated in Schleswig.
In the Middle Ages the family Klaumann settled in Hamburg, where the name contributed greatly to the development of an emerging nation which would later play a large role in the tribal and national conflicts of the area. In later years the name branched into many houses, each playing a significant role in the local social and political affairs. Klaumann is also connected to several place names in the Holstein region.
Throughout the research of the name, it is found to have underwent tremendous changes over time. Scribes often recorded a name based on its sound, and since there are so many different regional dialects, many different spellings occurred, often between the generations. Among the many variations of the name Klaumann was Klauman,Klaumann, Klaumane, Klaumanes, Klaumans, Klaumanns, Klaauman, Klaaumans, Klaaumanes, Klaumaan, Glauman, Clauman to name a few examples.
Since the two Dutchies could not be divided, this historical principle caused serious international tension; the Danes, who wished to claim Schleswig as part of the Danish Monarchy, also claimed Holstein. Using the same principle, the Germans who desired Holstein also claimed Schleswig as belonging to the German Confederation. Despite these tensions trade and commerce developed, particularly in Luebeck, the "Queen of the Hanseatic League" where it was founded in 1266 to foster inter-European trade. Luebeck held its city charter since 1143, and "Luebisches Recht" (Luebeck Law) was practiced in the Middle Ages throughout the coastal regions of the Baltic. The influence of the Hanseatic league was so great, that after they defeated the Danes, they gained the right to vote in the election of the Danish Kings in 1370.
In a later period the family Klaumann moved to Hamburg, where they emerged as a notable family name early in the middle ages. During these turbulent times they were many changing religious and political allegiances. There were many houses of the same family name and they branched to many locations, even some to distant parts where members of the family were recorded as entering into the nobility in 1749. They were recorded as being very active in the church as well. Notables of the time included the Klaumann family of Hamburg.
Following the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the two dutchies were incorporated into Denmark. However, German inhabitants of the Holstein region resented their treatment as subjects of the Danish monarchy, and the rise of nationalist feeling during the Napoleonic Wars increased complications. The Congress of Vienna in 1815 granted the Holstein and Lauenburg to the German Confederation, but this decision in Germany's favor greatly antagonized the Danes.
The Danes attempted to separate the two duchies, and by 1848 the lack of heirs for the Danish crown combined with a revolutionary spirit that swept across Europe provoked popular rebellion. Both Prussia and Austria supported the German Confederation's claims and through political and military bargaining on the part of Bismark, Austria was defeated in a brief war and Schleswig-Holstein became a Prussian province in 1866.
Te capital of Schleswig-Holstein is Kiel, a former naval port, whose main industries are shipbuilding, electrical technology, and fish-processing. Kiel is also the site of a 98 kilometer canal, completed in the year 1895, that links the Baltic with the North Sea. Flensburg is a center of the fishing industry, as well as a naval base and shipyard, located on the Danish German border.
Following the end of the first World War, a part of Northern Schleswig was restored to Denmark, after the majority of the population had voted for reunion with Denmark, a wish that was reconfirmed in 1945.
After 1650 many Germans left their homeland for the New World. In the U.S. they settled mainly in Pennsylvania, New York, Texas, Ohio, California, and Illinois. In Canada, German settlements centered around Ontario and the Prairies. Settlers bearing the name Klaumann included settlers who traveled to the new World and established themselves along the eastern seaboard of the U.S. and Canada in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Those arriving in the later years, as well as subsequent generations of the earlier immigrants, followed opportunities westward, in homesteading, industry and mining. A flood of fortune-seekers journeyed to California upon the discovery of gold ; more than 80,000 arrived in 1849 alone, nearly tripling the territory's population.
Notable figures of the modern period were Individuals whose social, cultural and professional accomplishments were known on both sides of the Atlantic.
The coat of arms found for a bearer of the Klaumann surname did not include a motto. Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and many families have chosen not to display a motto. The Klaumann family colors are Blue and Gold. The crest is a Lion.
Dear Serge!
Here I am, excuse me being rather late. As I returned from my holiday, one of our sisters in the community was severely ill. She died in the first week of Oktober. And then I had to contact my cousine, who knows a bit more about our family than I. and e stayes in anther town.
The material, I have, is the same as yours. Different people tryed to find the different branches of the family, but it is difficult because either the names or the years are correctly noticed in the old parish registers.
The branch called de Klauman, comes from an adopted son, whos son later was ennobled. There is a great marmor-epitarph in one of the churches in Copenhagen Holmens Church, over his tomb.
The oldest Werner Klauman, was a well-know person. He had was a clever merchant, had a great ropewalk-firm in Copenhagen. He also with 3 or 4 others had to controle the post in town, he also made a contract with the famous King Christian IV, that the danish merchants had the right for the merchants coming fro Holland, and he was churchwarden in st. Nikolaj Church herein the town. I don't know, if you are a roman catholic, our famous saint, Nikolaus Steno was baptized at the time, where Werner was churchwarden there. The church burned down twice, but is rebuilded. But there is nothing from the time of Werner. He and other members of the family were buried in and outside the church. It is now an art exhibition. If you visited Copenhagen, you can see, where he lived and worked.
We don't know anything about a son from Peter Klauman, who emmigrated.
This is all I know, but I hope, this can help you.
With many greetings

Now I try to answer your qustions:
1. the othe child of Peter Otto Klaumann, was a daughter, named Emilie Esther Klaumann, born in 1849 south oin Seeland, i Fakse. I don't know anything about her, anfd nothing is noticed.
2. About Werner Klaumann: The material you have PERSONALHISTORISK TIDSSKRIFT. 7. ROW.- 3. volumes 1. part (39. volume- year from 1918) of Paul Hennings.:
you find something, he was a merchant, lived in the middle of Copenhagen, Amagertorv nr. 14, -traded also with Island. He had more ships.
In PERSONALHISTORISK TIDSSKRIFT, 7. ROW, 5. volume (41. volume-year), you find something more, that he traded with silk and cloth, and had his business in the street:Vandkunsten.- But everything is written in danish, what is a bit difficult for you!!! I can show you the streets and places, but most of buildings are rebuilded. But Copenhagen is a very old town, and some of the streets in the middle town exists, also the University buildings are the old buildings.
When you come, please tell the precise days, and I will try to be ready for you and your family.
Many greetings
Sr. Laurentia
