Hans Stocklein

Hans Friedrich Philipp Georg Stöcklein (born June 29, 1874 in Neu-Ulm , † September 2, 1936 in Munich ) was a German officer ( retired captain ), art historian and weapons expert . From 1931 to 1936 he was director of the Bavarian Army Museum .

Life

Hans Stöcklein was born in 1874 as the son of a royal Bavarian officer in the Swabian town of Neu-Ulm. He graduated from the Bavarian Cadet Corps in Munich, in 1894 he joined the Royal Bavarian 2nd Infantry Regiment “Crown Prince” in Munich as a portepee ensign . A year later, he was promoted to lieutenant . In 1898 he left the army first to devote himself more closely to weapons science. He did research in weapon collections a. a. in Stockholm, Turin and Paris. In 1911 he was the Professor Berthold Riehl at the Institute of Art History at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich with a thesis master of iron section at the Munich court to Dr. phil. PhD. Stöcklein's work on the history of art and weapons, published by P. Neff Verlag in 1922, was considered fundamental by the weapons expert Max Dreger . During the First World War in 1917 he published - at the time first lieutenant and adjutant - an art-historical guide on the northern French community of Saint-Amand-les-Eaux .

Before he was appointed chief curator at the Bavarian Army Museum in Munich in 1920, he worked at the Zeughaus Berlin . The captain, who was open to military history, was assigned there by the War Ministry. In Munich he looked after the collection of the old department (until 1800). Stöcklein corresponded with the general director of the imperial Istanbul museums, Halil Edhem Eldem , and in 1928/29 was the first weapons expert ever to research the weapons collection of the Topkapı Palace Museum. A preliminary report appeared in the trade journal Ars Islamica in 1934 . Its original transfer to Constantinople is suspected in the literature in particular through Friedrich Sarre , at the time director of the Berlin Museum of Islamic Art . Among other things, he advised them on museum weapons purchases; In 1925 he contributed to the Sarres Festschrift. In addition, he was at the side of the Armory in Coburg as well as the Historical Museum and the Museum of Ethnology in Munich in an advisory capacity on new collections. In 1931 he was on the exhibition committee of an international exhibition of Iranian art at Burlington House in London. In the same year, Stöcklein succeeded Philipp Maria Halm as director of the Army Museum. After the “ seizure of power ” by the National Socialists in 1933, he designed the German dagger based on the Swiss dagger , initiated by Ernst Röhm and approved by Adolf Hitler . He was also responsible for the new department “1. World War ". Until the opening in 1936 (after his death), the World War II department was built up in secret, probably out of concern about possible Allied claims. His later successor Ernst Aichner u. a. rated the department as important and characterized Stöcklein as a "critical Bavarian patriot" who, because of his proximity to the monarchy, "wanted to show an unvarnished picture of the world war".

The historian Reinhard Baumann assesses his treatise on the Landsknechte , which was published by the Bibliographical Institute , and which arose during the National Socialist era, as being written from a "nationalist-heroic point of view".

He was u. a. Member of the German Oriental Society and the Association for Historical Arms.

Stöcklein was married to the daughter of the zoologist Albrecht Poppe .
