On January 1, 1913, Kallmeyer became an equal partner in Julius Zwissler's publishing house, which had existed in Braunschweig since 1872 . In 1916 he became the sole owner of the Zwissler publishing house, which he made into a music publisher. In 1925 he changed the name to "Kallmeyer-Verlag" or "Georg Kallmeyer Verlag".

He published the sheet Der Wandervogel and books of the organization Wandervogel and specialized in music literature of the youth music movement . He worked with Fritz Jöde , Friedrich Blume , Hans Dagobert bruger (1894-1932), Georg Götsch , Hilmar Höckner (1891-1968), Adolf Hoffmann (1898-1983), Ekkehart Pfannenstiel (1896-1986) and Herman Reichenbach together . In the years 1933 to 1945 the publishing house was strongly influenced by the cultural office of the Reich Youth Leadership and the composers of the Hitler Youth , for whom Kallmeyer published writings such as the music of the Hitler Youth or Wir Mädel singen - song book of the Association of German Girls .
