Joseph Hieronymus Karl Kolborn was the son of Sebastina Kolborn from high school and his wife Anna Maria, geb. Mella. He studied Catholic theology at the seminary in Mainz, later at the University of Mainz . He then worked for the Stadion family as a tutor for Count Friedrich Lothar and Johann Philipp von Stadion and accompanied the brothers on their Grand Tour and their studies as court master . He gained the trust of this influential southern German family and remained a close confidante and advisor to the brothers throughout his life. He owed his first canonical to St. Stephan in Mainz, where he became dean in 1792, to the influence of this family . In 1785 he was also canon at St. Leonhard in Frankfurt am Main . His appointment to the clergy in 1788 is said to be due to the last elector of Mainz, Karl Theodor von Dalberg , who also dealt with his personal affairs. In 1794 Kolborn became a member of the Vicariate General in Mainz, and in 1805 he was the secret council of Kurerzkanzler Karl Theodor von Dalberg. In 1806 he was elected to succeed the late Mainzer Auxiliary Bishop Johann Valentin Heimes named and on January 11, 1807 the BMV ad parish church in Aschaffenburg by Karl Theodor von Dalberg consecrated . As a result of the transfer of Dalberg's bishopric from Mainz to Regensburg , he became auxiliary bishop in Regensburg. As titular bishopric he was given Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee in Palestine in what is now the State of Israel . During his term of office, the southern German bishoprics were liquidated after secularization .

Kolborn was temporarily Illuminat following his model Dalberg . He was ennobled in 1813 as baron of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt .

Auxiliary Bishop von Kolborn died on May 20, 1816 and was buried in the new churchyard ( old town cemetery Aschaffenburg ), which he himself had consecrated in 1809. His funeral was by no means a parable, for it was more than magnificent. Everyone wanted to be present. He found his final resting place under the cross from the 1811 abandoned cemetery at the Church of St. Agatha , which was moved to the new cemetery, at the priestly graves.

coat of arms

The heraldic shield split by blue and black. In front a golden floating cross with a ring above (pectoral cross); behind a golden ankle tang ( wolf tang ) in the form of a Z (coat of arms of Kolborn). On the shield are two helmets crowned in gold; in front between two open blue wings the golden cross, behind between two black buffalo horns the golden ankle. The blankets are blue and gold in front and black and gold in the back. Spiritual dignity marks are missing.

Auxiliary Bishop von Kolborn received the golden cross when he was raised to the baron status as an increase in the coat of arms (baron letter from Prince Primate Karl Theodor von Dalberg zu Aschaffenburg, anno 1813).
