Stödter, who had joined the SA in 1933 and the NSDAP in the course of the transfer of power to the National Socialists , was a shop steward for foreign issues at the NS-Lecturer Association. Immediately after the Second World War, Stödter resigned from his position as professor at his request, but then continued to belong to the faculty as an associate professor.
