Live and act

Jakob Stoller came from a humble background. He was born in 1873 as one of eight children of the tailor and church clerk Friedrich Stoller and his wife Margarete, b. Miller in the Swabian Alb community of Amstetten. One of his ancestors was the farmer Oswald Stoller († 1740), who immigrated to Amstetten from Grindelwald / Switzerland. From 1902 to 1929 he worked at the Prussian Geological State Institute (PGLA). He was Bergrat, had the title of professor and was a regional geologist. Stoller married Gertrud Freymuth from Stettin in 1903. Together they had six children, two sons and four daughters. They lived in Berlin-Waidmannslust. Jakob Stoller died in Weimar in 1930 on a study trip to Thuringia.

He researched together with the geologist Konrad Keilhack in the central and north German lowlands. In 1910, they carried out research on the so-called Saale complex, pointing to the Ice Age, and they coined the term “Saale Ice Age”. (For this see article Hohenwarthe ) In addition to glacial geology, he dealt with the German oil deposits, especially in the Lüneburg Heath in the area of ​​Hänigsen-Nienhagen and Wietze-Steinförde .

His brother was the consul general Wilhelm Stoller (1884–1970).
