Sheet music by Martin Boelitz

Martin Boelitz was a German writer. Martin Boelitz came from a pastor’s family; his brother was the later politician Otto Boelitz. Martin Boelitz attended the grammar school in Wesel up to the Obersekunda; afterwards he worked as a banker and stock exchange agent. From 1899 to 1901 he stayed in London; during this time he edited the literary magazine Stimmen der Gegenwart. From 1902 he headed the Nieter publishing house in Nuremberg. In 1914 he returned with his family to Wesel, where he became the owner of a bookshop and publisher of the Weseler Zeitung.

Martin Boelitz wrote mainly poems, which mainly deal with his Lower Rhine homeland, but also - in the poetry book London - with social problems.
