The Postal Kolmberg is an Outbound hilltop castle on a rocky 643-meter high mountaintop of carbon mountain in the district Kolmberg the community Waffenbrunn in Oberpfälzer district of Cham in Bavaria .

history

The castle was built in the first half of the 12th century by the lords of Kolmberg, a margravial ( Diepoldinger ) ministerial family, and was first mentioned in a donation dated between 1135 and 1146 with a Heinrich "de Kalwenberch". After the Chamer line of the Diepoldigians with Margrave Berthold II died out in 1204, the Kolmbergs, who also had connections to the Reichenbach Monastery , were no longer mentioned with the castle.

The castle was presumably the seat of a Schwarzenburg ministerial family in the 14th century, which may be pointed out by the “Vlrich von Chölperch”, referred to in 1317 as the “triuber diner” of the Schwarzenburgs. The family probably gave up the castle in the 14th century and moved to Cham .

From the 16th century the castle was Landsassengut of the village below and owned by "Christoff Perkoffer von Özing auf Kolnberg", who died in 1583. The Protestant family had to give up the newly built castle down in the village after the re-Catholicization of the Upper Palatinate.
