In 1800 the "Jug Baker" (Kannenbäcker)
Heinrich Kalb founded a Jug Bakery in
Baumbach in order to produce jugs for
mineral water. He was included in
the
list of Jug Bakers under number
60.
He was a descendant of the pottery
master Wilhelm Kalb
(1614 -1663),
who originated from the
stoneware
town Raeren close to the German city
of Aachen.
In
1904 the name Kalb was changed to Kilburg.
The company continued to grow reaching
its
present size under the management of the family's 7th generation.
