Gabriel Kolb

Gabriel Kolb Sen. (* around 1521; † 1607 in St. Joachimsthal ), was a Bohemian mountain master . He headed the St. Joachimsthal Mining Authority.

Life

Nothing is known about Kolb's origin. From 1567 he stayed in Fischbach near Abertham , where he presumably worked as a shift supervisor . In April 1578 the administration of the miner's office in St. Joachimsthal was assigned to him and confirmed on January 10 of the following year. In 1580 Kolb was ordered to Prague, along with several people from other mining towns, to improve the mountain order . According to a letter dated April 3, 1583, he received instructions to set up a general ore house in St. Joachimsthal. Around 1590, when mining in the region had experienced a renewed boom, Kolb visited the mines in St. Gottesgab and Reinhard together with his son, the miner from lead town, and expressed in a letter to the miner there that they were willing to give up this hopeful mining again. At the same time he encouraged Count Palatine Friedrich in a report to him to continue promoting ore mining. Kolb resigned from office as early as 1590. David Seltenreich was his successor . Kolb died in 1607 at the age of 86.
