Heinrich Stoll (born August 4, 1891 in Weinheim , † June 19, 1937 in Tübingen ) was a German lawyer and legal historian .

He received his doctorate in Bonn in 1921 and completed his habilitation in Heidelberg in 1923 . From 1927 he was professor for civil law and Roman law in Tübingen .

Stoll is best known for his work in the field of the law of obligations. In his book The Doctrine of Performance Disorders , published in 1936, he coined the term performance disorder , which today represents one of the basic categories of the law of obligations. As a memorandum of the Committee for Personal, Association and Obligations Law, the book reproduced Stoll's thoughts on a reform of the law of obligations that he had developed on behalf of the Academy for German Law .

His son is the legal scholar Hans Stoll .
