Remarks
- Thilo Dinkel, Günther Schweizer: Ancestors and Family of the Poet Friedrich Schiller , p. 88: The false claim that Johannes Köl was originally called Kölburger, which is widespread in some publications, arose from the fact that his grandson Johann Philipp, son of Ludwig, was ennobled in Vienna and received the addition of "von Kölburg" to the name.
