Live and act

Pallmann attended elementary school in Landstuhl. He then completed a commercial apprenticeship in Merzig an der Saar . He was also trained at the business school in Donauwörth. He then worked as a clerk in his uncle's hardware store, "Pallmann Successor". After disagreements with his father's business partners, Pallmann left his uncle's company voluntarily in 1910 and founded his own hardware store ("Firma Pallmann"), which still exists today as a household goods store in downtown Kaiserslautern. In 1911 Pallmann married Barbara Heger. The marriage lasted until the death of Pallmann's wife in 1966. Since the marriage remained childless, Pallmann adopted his nephew Klaus Pallmann. Pallmann was a trade unionist in the clerks' association, in which he campaigned, among other things, for the abolition of the Sunday work customary at the time .

After the First World War , Pallmann began to get involved in the Reichspartei des Deutschen Mittelstandes (economic party). In the Reichstag elections of May 1928, Pallmann was elected as a candidate for the Economic Party for constituency 26 (Franconia) in the Reichstag, to which he initially belonged until the elections in September 1930. In April 1932, Pallmann returned to the Reichstag in the replacement procedure for the resigned MP of the Economic Party, which he was a member this time until the elections in July 1932.

After the Second World War, Pallmann was appointed President of the Food Council for the French Zone . In 1954 Pallmann became chairman of the Palatinate Retail Association and Vice President of the Palatinate Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
