history

A little west of Kolbnitz is the Danielsberg , a Celtic place of worship. Around 15 BC The Romans occupied the area and left their traces, e.g. B. the Roman road and remains of a Hercules temple on the Danielsberg.

In the first mention in 1124 Kolbnitz was mentioned as a cholomunze . The name is of Slavic origin and is believed to be derived from Collmiza , which means small rounded mountain (anthill) . According to Dr. Otto Kronsteiner from the Institute for Slavonic Studies in Salzburg, the name goes back to the name of the Roman settlement on Danielsberg: Colomunitio , consisting of Colo (hill) and munitio (secured, reinforced, fortified). The name became Cholomunze (1124) and finally Kolbnitz .

At that time, the area was owned by the Counts of Lurn , bailiffs of the Freising diocese . The last Lurner, Bishop Altmann von Trient, handed over his church in Kolbnitz to Salzburg in 1126 . Most of the area then became the property of the Counts of Gorizia . In the 15th century the property fell to the Habsburgs .

The former municipality of Kolbnitz an der Tauernbahn was merged with Mühldorf and Penk to form the municipality of Reisseck during the municipal reform in 1973 (Mühldorf left again in 1992). The term is still common locally, as the community of Reißeck nature experience region Kolbnitz – Penk – Teuchl calls itself . The station of the Tauernbahn , on the slope above between Zandlach and Rottau, is also called Kolbnitz .
