Prof. Karl Nothelfer
* 14 June 1900 ~~ + 20 May 1980
Since the beginning of the 15th century, the Nothelfer family of carpenters has been continuously resident in the former
town of Überlingen without interruption. Every carpenter at that time mastered
all the possibilities of woodworking: so did the Nothelfer. They could carpenter,
even carve altars and figures, and set them in gold, silver and paint.

His father, Karl Anton Nothelfer, as the eldest of seven siblings, was able to take over his father's carpentry business in Überlingen.
Karl Anton Nothelfer, the eldest of seven siblings, was unable to take over his father's carpentry business in Überlingen.
He instead moved to the industrial town of Singen with his young wife Rosalie, née Hanner, from the

He had a highsense of quality and form and was already a member of the German Werkbund before 1914.
Karl Nothelfer and his three siblings grew up in such air.
After attending school and the secondary school in Singen, the young Karl learned the carpenter's trade in his father's workshop then moved on to the Badische Landes-Kunstschule in Karlsruhe,
where he studied architecture. At that time the well-known furniture professor also worked there
Fritz Spannagel, born in Freiburg in 1891, who settled in 1938 at Ittendorf Castle near Meers-
burg (died 1957). In 1928, the gifted young architect received a teaching assignment at the

series of brochures were published by Verlag Otto Maier, Ravensburg.
Karl Nothelfer continued to work intensively on the design of seating furniture in the years after 1945.
In 1950 he succeeded in the important invention of the two-legged skid-base chair, which has been

Even the most distinguished American furniture companies such as Miller or Knoll-International
