Gottfried Wolters

[1] After the seizure of control by the National Socialists he worked as an editor at P. J. Tonger Verlag in Cologne and also as a freelance composer and choir director.

His special love was the German and later the European folk song, which he sang together with his choir and the audience with his own instrumental movements at the monthly Open Singstunden in Hamburg.

He organized numerous training courses and singing weekends and became leader of the Arbeitskreis Musik in der Jugend  [de] (AMJ).

[6] Later, followed the multi-volume work Ars Musica Volume I-V[7] with many choral movements and monophonic folk songs, as well as the Chorbuch Romantik.

In addition to his intensive choral work, his goal was to bring people in Western and Eastern Europe together through travel and great singing meetings.
