Adolf von der Nahmer was the son of Alexander von der Nahmer (1832–1888) and began an apprenticeship as a businessman after graduating from high school. In 1886 he joined the Alexanderwerk as a so-called traveler , which was headed by his brother Wilhelm von der Nahmer (1858–1938). In 1891 he took over the London branch with representations in Paris and Brussels. The following year he became a partner in Alexanderwerk. When the company was converted into a GmbH in 1896, Adolf and Wilhelm von der Nahmer and Karl B. Luckhaus became managing directors with equal rights. In the same year he married Elenita (Helene) Böker (1873-1965).
