The Baltic Music Publishing House was founded in 1905 by Wilhelm Hofmeister in Stettin . The publishing house mainly published chamber music works , own compositions by Wilhelm Hofmeister under the pseudonyms Jan Micha, Ulrich Mengenberg and Jan E. Lewis as well as salon pieces in the contemporary taste. The works Valse Caprice and La Cascade - Capriccio brilliant for piano - appeared under his own name.

Wilhelm Hofmeister and his family left Stettin in April 1939 to move to Berlin ; only his eldest son Gerhard Hofmeister stayed in Stettin and continued to run the music shop and publishing house on Mönchenstrasse until the end of the war in 1945. During the Second World War, the street was completely destroyed and with it the headquarters of the publishing house and the Wilhelm Hofmeister music store. After the war, Gerhard Hofmeister moved to Bielefeld and opened the W. Hofmeister music house there .
