After Dresden's move to the University of Leipzig in 1934 he succeeded him at the chair for hygiene in Greifswald and as director of the Greifswald Hygiene Institute.

In the course of the transfer of power to the National Socialists , Stickl joined the NSDAP in March 1933 and in the same year became the local group leader of the Kampfbund for German Culture in Greifswald. From January 1934 he was the NSDAP's shop steward at the Greifswald Medical Faculty. In 1936 he was appointed provisional Gaudozentenbundführer of Pomerania . Furthermore, he had been a member of the SA since 1938 , in which he rose to Obersturmbannführer in 1944. In 1936, Stickl was finally appointed full professorship for hygiene at the University of Tübingen , where he was director of the Hygiene Institute there. From November 1, 1939 to May 7, 1945 he was rector of the University of Tübingen. During the Second World War he was temporarily employed as a medical officer in the Wehrmacht , where he also worked as an advisory hygienist. Theodor Haering took his place as rector of Tübingen .

After the end of the war, Stickl was arrested by soldiers of the US Army and released from the university. In the denazification process in 1948 he was classified as a “fellow traveler”.
