Karl Stelter (born December 25, 1823 in Elberfeld , † May 13, 1912 in Wiesbaden ) was a German merchant and worked as a merchant in a silk weaving mill until 1880. He was also a member of the Wuppertal poets' circle , the Wuppertal Poets , as a poet and writer . This literary group saw itself as "free-spirited" and cheerful, in contrast to the strict, pietistic circles of Wuppertal. On the occasion of the coronation of Kaiser Wilhelm I , Stelter wrote a patriotic festival, which was performed in the Elberfeld City Theater, as well as an Kaiserlied . From 1880 he lived in Wiesbaden until his death. In 1903 his memoirs appeared under the title Experiences of an eighty-year- old .
