Kolbermoor

Kolbermoor is a town located in the Upper Bavarian district of Rosenheim, Germany. Situated on the river Mangfall, it lies approximately 40 kilometers southeast of Munich and 10 kilometers north of Rosenheim. The town has a rich industrial history, particularly in the production of paper and later in the rubber industry.

Historically, Kolbermoor developed as a settlement around the paper mill established in the early 19th century. Over time, it grew into a significant industrial center. The presence of the Mangfall river was crucial for powering the early machinery and for water supply. The town's development was closely tied to the economic activities of its factories, which employed a large portion of the local population.

In more recent decades, Kolbermoor has transitioned away from heavy industry. While some manufacturing remains, the town has become increasingly a residential community for commuters working in nearby larger cities, especially Munich and Rosenheim. Its proximity to the Alps and recreational areas makes it an attractive place to live. Kolbermoor maintains a local administration and provides essential services to its residents. The town is well-connected by public transport, including regional train services, facilitating easy access to surrounding areas and major urban centers.
