Life

The brewery of the Silesian Kißling had its origins in the 1830s. Käsehandel had made his ancestor Conrad Kißling, a merchant from Bavaria, “a rich man”. As a large landowner, he sat on the Bolkohof near Breslau. He was a major in the reserve and served as an agricultural adviser to the Army High Command during World War II . Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg was able to win Kißling as a liaison officer of the resistance group for the military district XXI (Posen) . One day after the failed assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler , Kissling was arrested. The next day he put an end to his life with his adjutant's service pistol. Elsewhere it is reported that he was executed on July 22, 1944. He left his wife Alice née Freiin von Printz (born November 11, 1896 - † October 20, 1978), a daughter and two sons.
