Life

Karl Kollmann received his doctorate in 1980 in Göttingen at the Georg August University on The " Counts Wigger " and the Counts of Bilstein .

He worked in the archive at Ludwigstein Castle for around ten years . In 1989 he then took over - as a half-time position - as head of the cultural office in Eschwege.

Also in 1989 he took over the management of the Eschwege City Archives as a second half-job, which was initially housed in the building of a former school in the Niederhone district of Eschweg before it moved to the wedding house on the Schulberg . For more than a quarter of a century, Kollmann worked on the inspection and maintenance of around 1200 meters of shelves in the city archive , cataloged around 6000 archive titles on index cards and digitally, which are publicly accessible for science and research, but also for many " local researchers , students [...] pupils ".

When thanking the archivist for the 25th anniversary of service, the mayor of the district town , Alexander Heppe , emphasized "[...] Kollmann's work falls into the exciting phase of the culture of remembrance ". His research and publications, especially on the National Socialist past of Eschweges, are "[...] described in a way that is easy to understand".

For example, Kollmann and his historian colleague York-Egbert König wrote a commemorative book under the title Names and Fates of the Jewish Victims of National Socialism from Eschwege ... , with details on the genealogy and biography of, for example, the journalist and newspaper editor Siegfried Bacharach , who was born in Eschwege Father then also a stumbling block in front of the former Jewish school in Eschwege was laid.

Following an art guide , Karl Kollmann edited the first edition of the Eschwege Lexicon , which, according to its subtitle, is a reference work for the entire Eschweg region.

After his retirement in 2015, Karl Kollmann, who also looks after the city museum, initially took over the management of the archive as an honorary post for another year - just as he had previously worked in numerous organizations. Eschweges Mayor Heppe had announced a public tender for his successor .
