The Noltenius Brothers

1945 film

The Noltenius Brothers (German: Die Brüder Noltenius) is a 1945 German drama film directed by Gerhard Lamprecht and starring Willy Birgel, Karl Mathias and Hilde Weissner.^[1] Released in Berlin on 7 April, it was, by most accounts, the last of the twelve films released in Nazi Germany in 1945, before capitulation on 7 May (Via Mala received its first public showing on the same day in Mayrhofen, but no longer made it to the cinemas).

The film's sets were designed by the art director Erich Kettelhut.
