Knobloch was born into a well-to-do Jewish family of lawyers. She is the daughter of Munich lawyer and Bavarian senator Fritz Neuland. Her mother Margarethe was born a Christian, but converted to Judaism upon marrying Neuland. However, her parents divorced in 1936. She was subsequently raised by her grandmother Albertine Neuland. Upon the arrest of her father, Knobloch recalls being saved by a stranger, a woman who took her in her hand and walked away. From 1942 onward, she lived with Catholic peasants in Franconia, who pretended she was their own illegitimate daughter.
Charlotte Neuland married the late Samuel Knobloch in 1951, and has three children.
