Carlmann Kolb, with his birth name recorded as Florian Carl Kolb belonged as a priest to the ''Benedictine Monastery'' in Asbach/Rottal, where he was already a choirboy and later ''Conventuale'' ultimately bein ordained as a priest in 1729. While organ playing was such an important field of activity during his studies, he took over the organist's office in Asbach.

In his last years he was Vicar of the castle and tutor of Count Max von Tattenbach.
