After graduating from high school in Erlangen in 1972 and military service from 1975, Stöckhert studied geology at the University of Erlangen with a diploma in 1979. After a two-year guest stay at the Institut de Minéralogie of the University of Friborg, he received his doctorate in Erlangen in 1982 and was a post-doctoral student at the isotope geologist Emilie Jäger in Bern. From 1984 to 1986 he was an assistant at the Institute for Mineralogy and Petrology at the University of Cologne and has been Professor of Endogenous Geology at the Ruhr University in Bochum since 1986 . From 1999 to 2005 he was the spokesman for the DFG special research area "Rheology of the Earth - from the Upper Crust to the Subduction Zone ", which he initiated , and from 2006 to 2008 he was the prorector of the Ruhr University in Bochum.

He researches the rheology and metamorphosis of rocks in the earth's crust at high pressures (also experimentally), effects of earthquakes in the deep earth's crust, tectonic processes at convergent plate boundaries, effects of hydrothermal solutions. He was involved in the continental deep drilling program and was on field studies in the Alps , the Aegean Sea , and North and South America .

In 2013 he received the Gustav Steinmann Medal for imaginative and fundamental research contributions on geodynamics, structural geology and rheology of rocks (laudation).
