Stalte worked as a teacher in Dundaga and Mazirbe, and as a Livonian language teacher in Lielirbe; and as a cantor and organist in Mazirbe. His wife was Baltic German and he moved to Germany with her when Hitler ordered the resettlement of all Baltic Germans in 1939. Kōrli Stalte died in 1947, in Fehrbellin, Germany.
He wrote many poems in the Livonian language (Livõd Lolõd for example) and wrote the lyrics of the Livonian national anthem, Min izāmō. His works also include a translation of the New Testament (Ūž testament) and participating in the creation of the biggest Livonian language dictionary yet, Livisches Worterbuch mit Grammatischer Einleitung. Kōrli Stalte's daughter Margareta Stalte composed several songs using Kōrli's poems as lyrics.
