Martin Hermann Böttcher was born on June 17, 1927 in
Berlin, Germany. After World War II the young Böttcher began as a solo
guitarist at Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk. In 1955 he wrote the music for his
first film “The Captain and His Hero” (1955). His next movie “Teenage Wolfpack”
(1956), was a great artistic success for himself. He became one of the busiest
composers for Cinema and TV in Germany. At the height of his career he composed
the music for10 Karl-May-frontier-westerns (1962-1968) in which actors Lex
Barker and Pierre Brice are the central figures. All in all Böttcher composed
music for about 60 Films and 100 television productions. Today he lives on
Sardinia and in Lugano. Today we celebrate Martin Böttcher’s 85th
birthday.
