Heinrich "Henry" Noltenius (11 August 1820 – 10 January 1884) was a German settler in the British colony of South Australia, and a prominent wine and spirit merchant.
Noltenius was born in Bremen, and arrived in South Australia in September 1843 aboard Madras from London.
In 1848 he joined the firm of Joseph Stilling & Co., then in June 1859 [1] left and founded Noltenius and Co., wine and spirit merchants of 75 King William Street.
Was he involved with brother B. A. Noltenius in Noltenius, Meyer & Co. (founded c. 1848)?
Noltenius purchased the Halifax Street brewery from W. H. Clark in February 1858, and five months later took on W. K. Simms as a partner, then sold him his share of the business. Both Clark and Noltenius were in debt to the bank. Clark left South Australia for the eastern colonies, out of reach of South Australia's laws, but Noltenius remained.
Noltenius & Co. dissolved around 1882 and he worked as a traveller for W. B. Rounsevell & Co, but his health was failing, and he died two years later. [1]
