Noll, Monnard & Co.
Noll, Monnard & Co. produced such vehicles in small numbers from 1937 to 1939.
Noll, Monnard & Co. was a car repair company that was founded in 1937 in connection with the liquidation of the Röhr car factory in Ober-Ramstadt and was located in Darmstadt as a Magirus-Deutz contract workshop after the Second World War until 1978 .
Automobile production at Röhr came to an end in 1935, and the factory premises were sold to the MIAG company in 1937 . Messrs Ernst Noll and Josef Monnard, who had met Röhr as employees, leased the parts of the building from the former repair shop and maintained the service for Röhr vehicles with around 70 people. In addition, a few Röhr 8 type F and FK were assembled from the warehouse, and they were reflected in eight copies when the new registrations were made in 1938. It appears that the plan was to resume production of the Röhr 8 Type F, because at the Berlin Motor Show in 1937, advertising material with images of the Röhr 8 with different modifications of the body was distributed. The company finally stopped production in 1939, but maintained customer service for Röhr vehicles until 1952.
New premises were found at Mainzer Strasse 70 in Darmstadt's “factory district”, now called Noll, Monnard & Co. KG and operated a Magirus-Deutz authorized workshop, which was taken over by EMRO in 1978 . A second mainstay was established on the neighboring site at Mainzer Straße 74 with Nomoco GmbH . Ernst Noll, Josef Monnard and Walter Müller founded this manufacturer of centerless cylindrical grinding machines on December 21, 1950 . Monnard's son-in-law Karl Hofmann apparently tipped the balance sheet with his special technical interest, he also succeeded Ernst Noll as managing director when he was the last of the founders to retire on June 30, 1969.
