Live and act

Origin and childhood

He grew up with two sisters and a brother, first on Hansjakobstrasse and then on Hammerschmiedstrasse in Freiburg-Waldsee . His father did not come back from Russia as a prisoner of war until 1949.

education

After primary school, Stingl attended the humanistic Berthold grammar school in Freiburg. After graduating from high school in 1959, he prepared for the entrance exam at the Freiburg University of Music . He then took up the study of school and church music and graduated in 1964 from the State University of Music with the A-exam. In 1965 he graduated from musicology and in 1966 he graduated in mathematics from the University of Freiburg. Since there were only three positions for church musicians in the Archdiocese of Freiburg at that time, he went to school.

He completed the first term of teacher training at the Max-Planck-Gymnasium in Lahr / Schwarzwald, the second at the Kepler-Gymnasium in Freiburg and the third at the Friedrich-Gymnasium , also in Freiburg.

There he taught mathematics and music and led the lower school choir and instrumental group until 1990. From 1990 to 1994 he was a music and mathematics teacher at the Droste-Hülshoff-Gymnasium and until his retirement in 2003, Stingl taught at the Wentzinger-Gymnasium in Freiburg.
