Baron Johann De Kalb: A German Commemorated By Communities And Counties Across The Present-Day U.S: Effects Of The American Revolution

By Leora Renner

Johann von Robais, Baron de Kalb (June 19, 1721 - August 19, 1780), born Johann Kalb, was a Franconian-French military officer who served as a major general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War and was mortally wounded while fighting the British Army during the Battle of Camden.

For professionals of a European country to graft themselves to the culture of another was not so unusual in the 18th century, whether in the arts, government, or the military, but de Kalb was distinctly unique from a young age as a German with a strong Francophile bent.
