Nohe got to know the game of football when he was a teacher of modern languages at a military school in London.[1] When he moved to Karlsruhe in 1896, he had already been playing for five years. In Karlsruhe, he joined the Karlsruher FV football club and was elected as chairman of the club in October 1896. A year later he was involved, as a representative of the Karlsruher FV, in the founding of the Southern German Football Association (German: Süddeutscher Fussball-Verband, SFV).[2] In 1898, Nohe was elected first chairman of SFV.[3] He remained chairman until 1907 and during his nearly ten-year term, the association grew to nearly 200 clubs with 10,000 members.
In addition to his position as Chairman of SFV, Nohe was also President of the German Football Association from 22 May 1904 to 21 May 1905.[2]
