Life

Karl Roll, son of the Imperial and Royal Captain Karl Roll (1814–1862) and his wife Therese (daughter of the Salzburg wholesaler Franz Anton Schaffner), studied law in Vienna, Munich and Innsbruck. After the judge's examination in 1879, he worked in various cities in the court service until 1904, when he retired, after which he returned to Salzburg. 

Roll had been interested in Salzburg numismatics since his youth. The collection he started at that time later, around 1900, was one of the most important coin collections in the State of Salzburg.

Starting in his retirement with consistent coin research, Karl Roll wrote around 100 articles with numismatic and historical content between 1907 and 1934 , the majority of which dealt with the history of Salzburg's coins. The focus of his research was the time of Leonhard von Keutschach until the end of the Salzburg mint in 1989 self-published the association in 1810. 36 of the essays are Friends of the Salzburg story entitled Selected Papers of the Salzburg numismatist Karl Roll (1850-1934) published, by Peter F. Kramml and Günther Rohrer, published. 

Around 1928, Roll's most important monograph , created with the help of Max Bernhart ( chief curator at the Münzkabinett Munich ), was published in two volumes : The coins and medals of the Archbishopric of Salzburg . 

Karl Roll had been married to Marie Rauscher, daughter of the Salzburg city architect and architect Vinzenz Rauscher , since 1879 . The marriage remained childless.

Higher Regional Court Judge Karl Roll died after almost two years of infirmity on June 26, 1934 in his birthplace, Waagplatz 2 , and was buried to rest in the crypt of his ancestors in the cemetery of St. Peter .
