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.
