Biography

He studied with the German paleontologist Friedrich von Huene at the University of Tübingen, Germany. He participated in expeditions to collect fossils in the geopark of Paleorrota in 1928 and 1929. He also made several collections of fossils in Argentina.

In his honor, the dicynodonts Stahleckeria potens, received its name. This dicynodonts was collected in Paleontological Site Chiniquá, São Pedro do Sul.

After finishing his doctorate, Stahlecker did not become a scientist, but a biology teacher at a school Stuttgart. "The Führer wants to teach people to think again biologically, we scientists have to be here its first collaborators," was his motto. After The War he had to pause for some years during denazification, although he had not as intensively be involved in National Socialism as his brother, the SS Brigade Leader and Commander of the "Einsatzgruppe A" Walter Stahlecker.[1]
