Kollbach worked as a teacher at the Oberrealschule in Bonn, before being appointed to the Kreisschulinspektor of the circle Ahrweiler in 1894 and moved to Remagen in the same year.
In 1905 he became chairman of the embellishing association Remagen, which he directed until his death. In 1906 Kollbach initiated the founding of the association for the conservation of the Erpeler Ley, which succeeded successfully for the salvation of this Remagen opposite basalt rock.
