This is not Kelling from Norfolk/UK, it is Kelling from Transylvania/Siebenbürgen.
Kelnek(Hung)=Kelling(Ger)=Calnic(Rom)
Kelling is a place in Transylvania that was first mentioned in documents in 1269.
In this place lived Transylvanian Saxons during the construction of the castle.
Name of count is documented in following way during the years 1269 - 1374: 39 times;
Name forms: Cheel=13, Chel=11, Chyl=8, Chyel=7.
Does the name of the place go back to Count Cheel?
A. The descendants of Count Cheel owned the castle from 1269 to 1430.
In this case, "Cheel" became the name of the place, KELLING, by adding the suffix "ING"?
The idea that the place name "Kelling" derives from the syllable "cal" is unfounded.
"Irrefutability is not, as is often assumed, a strength of a theory, but a weakness." (Sir K. R. Popper)
In 1430, the Saxon community purchased the castle and expanded it into the form we see today.
The inhabitants of the village called their place "Kelling" since 1469.
Linguistic development of name "Kelling":
1269 - "merits of Count Chyl of the village of Kelnuk"
1291 - "Daniel and Salomon, the sons of Cheel, the countess of Kelnuk"
1291 - "Henc de Kelnuk"
1309 - "Berthold, priest in Keldenich=3(Kelnuk, Kelneke=5)" - Vatican Nr. 4013
1313 - "with Daniele, son of Chel from Kelnuk"
1372 - "of the Kelnyk people", "the seniors of Kelnyk"
1417 - "Count Solomon of Kelnig"
1466 - "by the road that leads to Kelnyngk"
1469 - "Given in Keling on the 11th day of January, in the year of our Lord 1469"
The book of documents on the history of Germans in Transylvania contains 77 documents from the years 1269 to 1499 that refer to Kelling or the Count's House of Kelling.

1532 - "J. Honterus first map of Transylvania: "kelling" "
("kelling" listed as a place with a important castle)
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johanne...
1579 - "In the presence of the honorable mayors from all the municipalities, namely Kellynck"
The following entries are listed in the registers of Hungarian students at the University of Vienna:
1. 1391 - Catholic priest named: "Dom. Antonius plebanus in Chelnig de Septemcastris"
2. 1555, 1558 - physician "Ladislaus Stuff Kellinckensis Transylvanus", Procurator of Hungarian students, Dean of the Facultaty of Medicine
3. 1561 - Ladislaus Stuff, "Transylvanus de Kellinck, medicus et philosophus"

B. Simple mathematics:
The documents from 1269-1666 concerning Kelling, the frequency of the place name is as follows:
Kelnek=55, Kelnuk=38, (Ch)Kelny(i)k(g)=10, Kel(l)ing=9, Keldenich(k)=4, Kelneke=5,K(C)alnuk=2, Kelnyngk=1. According to human logic, this is therefore proof of the impossibility of deriving "Kelling" from "K(C)alnuk". Form K(C)alnuk is irrelevant from a phonetic law perspective.
The name evolution for "Chel"="Kel" is:
"Kelnek/Kelnuk-Chelnig-Kelnig-Kelnyngk-Kelling"
"The facts remain. Facts count." (M. Wolffsohn)
The castle's gate tower became a bell tower in 1781 when the mountain church was dilapidated.
The three bells of the Bergkirche church were relocated to the gate tower.
The new storm bell from 1781 was added.
The Saxons called the mighty tower “Siegfried”.
The large red circle above Siegfried marks the village school until 1901.
The tower has 4 bells. (E=English, G=German)
The "religious" characters of the four bells:
1) Storm bell - in case of fire or flood
2) Evening bell - daily (morning, evening) - prayer bell
E: "If the prayer bell reaches your ear,
then lift your heart to God!"
G: "Dringt die Betglock an dein Ohr
So heb dein Herz zu Gott empor"
3) Foundation bell - wedding
E: "For the sake of our descendants."
G:"Den Nachkommen zur Lehre."
4) Baptism and funeral bell
E: "I call the living to prayer,
I ring peace and rest to the dead."
G: „Die Lebenden ruf ich zur Andacht herzu,
Den Toten läute ich Frieden und Ruh.“
The picture shows the castle as it looked around 1700-1800
The castle was the property of the Saxon community since 1430-1919, not church property.
The Saxon society of Transylvania functioned according to democratic principles, similar to Switzerland.(I'm born there)
