Prof. Karl Nothelfer * 14 June 1900 – 20 May 1980 Since the beginning of the 15th century, the Nothelfer family of carpenters has lived continuously in the former town of Überlingen. Every carpenter at that time mastered all aspects of woodworking, and the Nothelfers were no exception. They could even carve altars and figures and adorn them with gold, silver and paint. (Churches in Owingen and Hödingen). Some family members lived and worked in Hedingen or Hödingen, as the jubilarian Karl Nothelfer did in 1975. However, his father, Karl Anton Nothelfer, was the eldest of seven siblings and was therefore able to take over his father's carpentry business in Überlingen. However, Karl Anton Nothelfer was unable to take over his father's carpentry business in Überlingen. Instead, he moved to the industrial town of Singen with his young wife, Rosalie Hanner, and founded his own carpentry workshop. Hohenzollern in 1896, and he moved to the former Poststraße, where he founded his own carpentry workshop. He had a high sense of quality and form, and was a member of the German Werkbund before 1914. Karl Nothelfer and his three siblings grew up in such an environment. After attending primary and secondary school in Singen, Karl learnt the carpenter's trade in his father's workshop, before moving on to the Badische Landes-Kunstschule in Karlsruhe. , where he studied architecture. The well-known furniture professor also worked there at that time: Fritz Spannagel (born Freiburg, 1891; settled Ittendorf Castle near Meersburg in 1938; died 1957). burg (died 1957). In 1928, the gifted young architect received a teaching assignment at the Karlsruhe School of Art, but he followed his teacher Spannagel to Berlin in the same year. Berlin. He worked there as a teacher from 1928 to 1945, becoming a professor in 1931. Berlin Tischler-Schule, later known as the Bauschule für Raumgestaltung. The furniture he created in Berlin gained international recognition through numerous exhibitions and lectures. He became nationally known and influential. His furniture designs ushered in a new era of German and European furniture design. European furniture design. At the World Exhibition in Paris in 1937, Prof. Nothelfer was awarded the Golden Medal for his work in the furniture sector. For his work in the furniture sector. The first summary and evaluation of his furniture designs is presented in his seminal work, Das Sitzmöbel, published in 1942, was the first compendium of its kind in the world. world. In 1950, he published his second book, Furniture. Both books and a series of brochures were published by Verlag Otto Maier in Ravensburg. Karl Nothelfer continued to work intensively on seating furniture design in the years after 1945. In 1950, he made the important invention of the two-legged skid-base chair, which has since become widely accepted. Even the most distinguished American furniture companies, such as Miller and Knoll International, , use the skid as the main design feature of desks and chairs. At the same time, N. was pioneering in redesigning German school furniture and seating for industry. He succeeded in adapting his furniture designs, which originated in woodworking and craftsmanship, to modern technical possibilities of the industry. He thus became a leading figure in the redesign of schoolroom furnishings. The architect Nothelfer reflects on his own work, that his main contribution was in the field of seating furniture, although this was not really his profession. After the war, Prof. Nothelfer, like so many others, had to start again from scratch. He settled in his hometown of Hödingen on Lake Constance in 1945, working as a freelance architect. involved in all areas of construction in the years after the war. As early as 1935, he had designed many examples of American prefabricated buildings and recommended serial housing, This was at a time when no one in Germany was even thinking about mass production. He developed Several types of mass-produced houses were manufactured in Baiersbronn. More than 800 of these houses were built in France (types Paris, Provence and Normandie). In 1946, as part of the reparations in Strasbourg, there was an exhibition of houses featuring Swedish, Danish and French designs. These included Swedish, Danish, Finnish, English and German houses, and the French occupation For this exhibition, six different types were sent from the French occupation zone. Nothelfer's house design was considered the best in the exhibition. Karl Nothelfer was also involved in developing chipboard. In 1946, he founded the first magazine, Bauen und Wohnen (Building and Living), after the war, and remained its co-editor for many years. By presenting his own work, he interpreted what the magazine's essence was. interpreted the essence of what the magazine wanted to be. Building in order to live in it and live humanely in the built environment. Karl Nothelfer designed his houses The furniture and ground plans were designed with the need for living in mind. In 1948, he was appointed Honorary Senator of the State of Building School in Holzminden. Karl Nothelfer did not build much in Singen. The first post-war house was Haus Fahr on the slope of the Hohentwiel (Domäne), for which the building materials were sourced from a demolished log cabin that a French officer had built for himself on the Schienerberg. nerberg. In 1952, he also constructed the administrative building for the aluminium rolling mill in Singen. This building featured reliefs and wall paintings by C. G. Becker.
