Il nous a laissé de son voyage un livre qu'il publia à 2 reprises en 1632 et 1655 format Elzevir.( Ulysses Belgico-Gallium)malgré cette double édition , ce livre est devenu rare , en outre il est écrit en latin et il est apparu utile d'en faire une traduction concernant Lyon.Une traduction de la partie dauphiné a également été faite par Antonin Macé.Arrivé dans la ville de Lyon au commencement du mois de décembre 1630 , Golnitz y séjourna jusqu'au 14 janvier suivant , aussi il a pû la visiter à loisir et en faire une description détaillée. cette description remplit 60 pages de son livre et renferme des renseignements d'un grand intérêt sur l'état de la ville de Lyon sous le règne de Louis XIII.
