from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Alexander Stoll , actually: Heinrich Joachim Friedrich Karl Hans Stoll (born December 8, 1910 in Parchim , † March 4, 1977 in Potsdam ) was a German writer .

Life

Heinrich Alexander Stoll was the son of the sergeant in the 2nd Grand Ducal Mecklenburg Dragoons Regiment No. 18, Heinrich Christian Stoll , and his wife Frieda Henriette Louise, nee. Wall cutter . He was baptized on January 22, 1911 in the Parchim garrison parish and grew up in Mecklenburg-Schwerin . After attending grammar school, he studied Protestant theology and art history at the universities in Erlangen and Rostock from 1929 to 1933 . He then worked as a vicar in Perlin near Wittenburg , Ratzeburg , Neubukow and Wismar . Since he was a committed member of the Confessing Church , he was suspended from service in 1935 and was banned from speaking and publishing. From 1936 to 1943 he stayed in Denmark , the Netherlands , Switzerland and Italy . In Rome he studied classical archeology and worked as a correspondent for foreign newspapers. In 1943 he was called up for service in a criminal unit of the Wehrmacht . In mid-1944 he suffered a serious wound that made him unfit for service for the remainder of the war.

After the end of the Second World War, Stoll lived in Parchim again. In 1945 he became a member of the Liberal Democratic Party of Germany and headed the local branch of the Kulturbund . In 1946 Stoll was arrested by the NKVD , presumably because of critical comments about the Soviet occupation forces; This was followed by a two-year internment in the Neubrandenburg special camp No. 9 Fünfeichen . After his release, Stoll worked in the state management of the Kulturbund in Schwerin . In connection with an alleged denunciation on the part of Stoll, which led to the arrest of the teacher and later author Alexandra Wiese (1923–1995) by the NKVD, Stoll was lured to West Berlin in November 1949 , arrested there and taken into custody for alleged spy activity . After the proceedings were discontinued, Stoll returned to Parchim, where the LDPD and the Kulturbund kept their distance from him. On January 6, 1950, he disappeared without a trace. Stoll was sentenced to ten years of forced labor in Siberia without trial . After his early release from prison in the Soviet Union in 1953, Stoll returned to Parchim and worked as a freelance writer. After another arrest and two months of pre- trial detention in autumn 1957 for alleged fornication with minors, Stoll left his hometown; from 1958 he lived in Thyrow / Mark .

In addition to popular scientific work on history and archeology, Stoll wrote historical novels and short stories , he was also an editor and editor, in particular of German and ancient sagas . He was awarded the Winckelmann Medal of the City of Stendal in 1963 and the Theodor Fontane Prize of the Potsdam district in 1975 .
