Life
After attending primary school in Frankenhausen, Stolle learned gardening. He traveled as a gardener's assistant through Germany, the Netherlands , Poland and Russia . Between 1862 and 1879 he was the owner of a commercial nursery in Crimmitschau .
He joined the workers' education movement at the beginning of the 1860s . Since 1866 he was a member of the Saxon People's Party and since 1869 of the SDAP , since 1875 of the SAPD and finally the SPD . He was one of the founders of the "International Trade Union of Manufacturers, Factory and Handicraftsmen." From 1869 to 1916 he was a delegate of several social democratic party conferences.
Together with others he founded the cooperative printing company Stolle, Schlegel & Comp. This was published by the newspaper “Crimmitschauer Bürger- und Bauernfreund”. The newspaper was suppressed in the wake of the Socialist Law . This also ruined the printing shop and Stolle's nursery was also ruined. He then worked as an innkeeper in Gesau from 1880 and ran the Schönburger Hof . There he was a member of the local council between 1886 and 1907. Between 1885 and 1897 he was a member of the Saxon state parliament . After unsuccessful candidacies for the Reichstag , he was a member of parliament from the 8th to the 15th legislative period (1881 to 1918). During the First World War he rejected the politics of the party leadership and was a member of the Social Democratic Working Group in 1916 and was a member of the USPD from 1917 .
Stolle died on the morning of March 11, 1918 and was buried in Gesau on March 15 with a "funeral speech". He left behind “a wife and four children”. His gravestone in the cemetery of St. Andrew's Church , which is still preserved today, bears the inscription:
