History

Community Planting

The local history is closely connected to its fortress Burgruine Kollnburg  [ de ], which was first mentioned in 1153 as Chalnberch. It was still called Kalmperg in 1685, while Bernhard Grueber  [ de ] and Adalbert Müller  [ de ] called it Kohlenburg in their book Der Bavarian Forest, published in 1846. In the "Contributions to the Statistics of the Kingdom of Bavaria" the place is already referred to as Kollnburg in issue XXI from 1869.

Kollnburg belonged to the Barons von Kastner. The place was part of the Electorate of Bavaria, but formed a closed Hofmark, whose seat was Kollnburg. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality came into being with the municipal edict  [ de ].

Incorporation

In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria  [ de ], the municipality of Rechertsried was incorporated on October 1, 1971, and the municipalities of Allersdorf and Kirchaitnach on May 1, 1978, incorporated into the municipality of Kollnburg.

Between 1988 and 2018, the population stagnated or fell minimally from 2800 to 2795 by 5 inhabitants or 0.2%.

Coat of Arms

The municipal coat of arms of Kollnburg combines elements from the family coats of arms of noble families that were important for the history of the municipal area. The white and blue diamonds are reminiscent of both the Kollnburg (Kallenberger, Chalmberger), the first proven family from the 12th to the 14th century in Kollnburg, as well as the Nußberger, who followed the Kollnburg family in 1363 and possessed the castle up to their defeat in the Böckler War of 1468/69. The Kollnburgers and the Nußbergers originally belonged to the Ministerialis of the Counts of Bogen, who died out in 1242, and therefore have their diamonds in their coat of arms. The formal structure of the coat of arms is based on the fact that the Kollnburgers showed diamonds in a split shield while the Nußbergers arranged them in line. The diamonds were passed on to the Wittelsbach family with the Bogen inheritance in 1242 and later became the Bavarian state coat of arms. The crenellation at the top symbolizes the castle Burgruine Kollnburg  [ de ], which was probably built in the 11th century as the ministerial seat of the Counts of Bogen. This coat of arms has been used since 1983.
