biography

Axel Stoll was born in the Berlin district of Pankow . He studied geology at the Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald and graduated with a diploma . He then worked in Potsdam at the Central Institute for Physics of the Earth (ZIPE) of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR - research area geosciences and cosmos sciences - and started there on October 16, 1984 with the dissertation on the rhythmicity / cyclicity and correlation of the higher Saxon of the western Altmark to Dr. rer. nat. PhD . The writing was supervised by Gerhard Katzung as a doctoral supervisor and was classified as confidential classified information until 1988 , as Stoll had dealt with the geology of the inner-German border area in it.

Stoll was found dead in his apartment on July 28, 2014.

Public appearance and conspiracy theories

Stoll gained greater attention after a video recording of one of his lectures was uploaded to the video platform YouTube and developed into an Internet phenomenon due to Stoll's unintentionally comical appearance . The videos posted on YouTube come from the so-called Neuschwabenlandtreffen , a meeting of right-wing extremist conspiracy theorists, history revisionists and anti-Semites founded in 2002 . The founders of the Neuschwabenlandtreffen next to Stoll were Karl-Wilhelm Schneider and Peter Schmidt, who himself appears as a speaker on various topics. The videos were perceived as bizarre real satire.

His most famous appearance outside of the Internet took place in an episode of the American television program UFO Hunters , which was broadcast on the History Channel in 2010 and, among other things, dealt with Stoll's conspiracy theories and statements about alleged UFOs at the time of National Socialism, so-called Reich flying disks .

A brief glimpse into his public appearances can be found on the DVD Die Mondverschwerung (2011) by Thomas Frickel ; the additional DVD contains further interview material.

In 2013 the director interviewed Mo Asumang Stoll as part of her documentary The Aryans . In the conversation, Stoll explains that he suspects that the so-called Aryans are members of a highly developed extraterrestrial civilization, the Aldebarans , whose origin lies in the Aldebaran planetary system . He also stated that it was possible to communicate transmedially with the Aryans in the distant planetary system; Long, straight hair on the head of women is sufficient to serve as a transmitter and receiver. In the interview, Stoll also resorted to his theory of the earth as a penal planet.

On July 28, 2015, the first anniversary of Stoll's death, the documentary An Interview with Dr. Axel Stoll - The film in which an interview by Sebastian Bartoschek and Alexander Waschkau with Axel Stoll, provided with clips of statements by various people.

Recurring elements of Stoll's remarks were the alleged technological superiority of the Third Reich and the spread of supposed scientific truths. In the natural sciences and technology, he sometimes held exotic or outdated positions. For example, he assumed that the earth was hollow and that different beings would live in the inner hollow world . He believed that during the National Socialist era there was a German space program with Reich flight disks , which included an expedition to Pluto with Nikola Tesla . Stoll also assumed the existence of free energy (an allegedly inexhaustible form of energy ).

Stoll was a supporter of several conspiracy theories. For example, he was of the opinion that the German colonization of the moon was completed by 1945/46 at the latest . In this context, he discussed encounters between the Apollo 11 astronauts and the lunar residents as well as the possibility that the American moon landing never took place (see conspiracy theories on moon landing ). Stoll's remarks also included AIDS denial and historical revisionism , especially the relativization of the Holocaust . He also represented anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, for example on the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake . According to Sebastian Bartoschek and Alexander Waschkau and the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Stoll and his supporters did not speak out in favor of open use of force, but were considered potential supporters of right-wing extremist terror groups due to their ideology .
