In 1956, Stolper was a member of the cycling section of SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt , with whose team of four he won the GDR championship in the team time trial. In the same year, Stolper recorded another victory in a debut race at the Sachsenring race in Hohenstein-Ernstthal in Saxony . Also in 1956 he prevailed in the elimination races for the three-country stage race Internationale Friedensfahrt . In his first participation in the Peace Tour he came in 23rd place. 1957 Stolper belonged again to the GDR national team in the peace trip. On the ninth stage he achieved his best daily result of his peace driving career with fourth place, and in the overall final ranking he came tenth as the second best GDR driver. Stolper achieved his only significant victory in 1958 at the international Erzgebirge race “Around Venusberg”. With SC Wismut he was third in the team time trial and ninth in the 1958 GDR tour.
