Who Is Stille, Wilhem Hans (1876–1966) German Tectonic Geologist

Wilhem Stille began his studies in stratigraphy and

tectonics near his home in Hannover, Germany, and continued

to do his fieldwork in this area for many years. His

exploration work in Colombia introduced him to the continent

of South America where he continued to do most of his

research later on. Although he did not do much research

abroad, he helped other students who worked on the

Mediterranean region. His constant reading helped him to

become a leader in synthesizing global tectonics. Stille started

out as a chemistry student but soon became a geologist

under the influence of Adolf von Koenen. He worked for

the Prussian Geological Survey and then taught in Hannover.

In 1912 he became a professor of geology and the

director of the Royal Saxon Geological Survey at Leipzig.

He was later named professor at the University of Berlin in

1932 and developed a reputation of being an outstanding

teacher and philosopher of global tectonics. Stille was

known as a leader in German geology, an outstanding investigator

and collator of the history of global tectonic events,

and a great teacher. He directed attention to the explanation

of the relationships among large crustal features, and his

studies of the eugeosynclinal belts led to the interest of their

magmatic history. Stille has received many honorary doctorates

and was elected an honorary member in numerous academics

of science, geological societies, and other scientific

organizations. He became the honorary president of the

German Geological Society where he was awarded the

Leopold von Buch Medal and later had the Hans Stille

Medal made in his honor.
