After attending primary school in Halle, Stadermann completed an apprenticeship as a locomotive fitter and was then an officer in the National People's Army until 1966 . He then studied mechanical engineering from 1966 to 1972 at the Wilhelm Pieck University in Rostock , whereupon he became a graduate engineer and economist. After further research studies, he received his doctorate in Dr. oec. Stadermann worked in the field of contract and property rights. He was deputy research director at the University of Rostock , scientific secretary at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of the GDR and personal advisor at the Friedrich Loeffler Institute on the island of Riems .

Stadermann became a member of the SED in 1958, from which he was excluded at the beginning of the 1980s, and from 1981 to 1989 he was banned from working and professions; During his later parliamentary activity in the People's Chamber , elected in 1990 , he stated that these reprisals had taken place against him, since he had tried since the mid-1970s to seek private enrichment of SED functionaries by embezzling state funds, as well as disregarding public health standards (among others to draw attention to negligent spread of foot-and-mouth disease through knowingly processing contaminated pork in food factories and large kitchens in the GDR). From 1985 he worked as a trader, owner of a weaving mill for reed and straw as well as an industrial consulting company in Elmenhorst and Stralsund , after which he was an entrepreneur in various areas.

In 1989 he joined the New Forum before rejoining the SED, which was converted into PDS, in 1990. Stadermann was elected to the last people 's chamber in 1990 and then to the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , but after allegations that he had worked as an unofficial employee for the state security , he resigned his people's chamber before reunification, whereby he was before the people's chamber in his declaration of resignation Former actions justified with the fact that only the co-operation with the MfS, which took place under duress from the mid-1980s (including severe harassment, decomposition and imprisonment measures against him and his family, which lasted for several years until the mid-1980s ) offered him the first opportunity, to be able to report the abovementioned abuses, for which he attempted to combat at the beginning of the 1980s, with exclusion from the party and an occupational ban, to higher authorities without him and his family being exposed to the repression measures mentioned; his IM reports consisted solely of reporting these state abuses, for which he had previously been punished. In 1991 Stadermann resigned from the PDS and was a non-attached member of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania state parliament until 1994.
