The Noltenius Brothers (German: Die Brüder Noltenius) is a 1945 German drama film directed by Gerhard Lamprecht and starring Willy Birgel, Hilde Weissner and Eugen Klöpfer.[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 did not make it to the cinemas before January 1948). It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios in Potsdam and Tempelhof Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art director Erich Kettelhut.

Synopsis

The architect Wolfgang Noltenius returns to his German hometown after many years away in Brazil. His modernist worldview contrasts with the more traditional attitudes of his brother Werner, also an architect. They become rivals over a new town planning scheme. Further tension arises from Wolgang's past relationship with Leonore, now Werner's wife.
