Translation

[4th paragraph from the top:] »He conducted the hearings in court with particular care and calm, taking a special interest in the concerns and needs of those involved. It was a new area of ​​law for all of us at the time, and none of us had any practical experience in this regard. I was always very pleased to see how those who stood before Stölting as a judge were treated with a kind of fatherly kindness and how he treated every matter with touching attention. […] He was […] always careful to prove that he was a judicial subject, relying only on the law and his judicial consciousness.«
