history

Bad Kohlgrub around 1900

Until the church is planted

Bad Kohlgrub belonged temporarily to the Ettal Abbey and temporarily to the Rottenbuch Abbey until 1803 , but actually formed its own Hofmark Kohlgrub. Ettal also exercised high jurisdiction in the Hofmark . In the course of the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria , the municipality edict of 1818 created today's municipality, which belonged to the Schongau district court .

The place name is originally traced back to the charcoal industry, which means that charcoal was burned in piles there.

In 1663 only two families survived the plague . From this arose the vow of these families to build a church if they survived this stroke of fate. The Rochus Church, named after the plague saint, St. Rochus, bears witness to this. It stands north of the village on a hill, but in the expanded Baroque form from 1733. B. also the Oberammergau Passion Play .

19th century

The place first entered history as a “bath” in 1871, when such a facility was built and approved around the local steel springs in the Gagers district . The place only became a mud spa after they had dried up. The healing power of the surrounding high moor against gout, sciatica, gynecological problems and the like was known to the locals for a long time.

20th century

In 1913, the community was reclassified from the Schongau district office to what was then the Garmisch district office .

Since July 13, 1948, the place can use the title "Bad" in the place name.

The description of the coat of arms reads: Above a blue shield base, inside a golden wooden bathtub separated by two silver corrugated strips, split by gold and silver; at the front of the gap a half, red armed black eagle, behind a rooted, seven-leaf red beech.

The coat of arms dates from 1968.

Significance: For the local history the close connection with the monasteries Ettal and Rottenbuch due to the manorial property is important, for the present of the community the character of the place as a spa, which in turn can look back on a long development. The symbol for “BAD” (tub and waves) is therefore associated with the characteristics of the Ettal monastery, which dates back to the founding of Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria (half imperial eagle) and the Rottenbuch monastery (beech as a talking coat of arms).
