Mr Adolf Mattmann, 20, an unmarried confectioner, was born on 29 August 1891 at Inwil, Switzerland. His father was Kandid Mattmann-Meierhans, a wine trader from Inwil, Kanton Luzern, Switzerland.
Mattmann was an apprentice confectioner at Karl Häberle at Luzern and later went to Freiburg to learn French. Back, he worked in the summers of 1910 and 1911 at the Hotel Löwen in Wiggis, Kanton Luzern. At the end of October he moved to England, where he remained for some time before he was employed on the Olympic. He changed to Titanic in spring 1912 as ice man.
Mattmann just wanted to sail twice on the Titanic. After that he already had an employment at a hotel in London. His wages were £1 10s a week. He signed on 6 April 1912 and began work on the Titanic the same day. At this time he lived at 3 Orchard Place, Southampton.
