Hans Wilhelm Stille (8 October 1876 – 26 December 1966) was an influential German geologist working primarily on tectonics and the collation of tectonic events during the Phanerozoic.[1] Stille adhered to the contracting Earth hypothesis and together with Leopold Kober he worked on the geosyncline theory to explain orogeny.[2] Stille's ideas emerged in the aftermath of Eduard Suess' book Das Antlitz der Erde (1883–1909). Stille's and Kober's school of thought was one of two that emerged in the post-Suess era the other being headed by Alfred Wegener and Émile Argand.[2] This competing view rejected Earth contraction and argued for continental drift.[3] As Stille opposed continental drift he came to be labelled a "fixist".[4]

Part of Stille's work dealt with massifs and sedimentary basins in Central Europe; differing from Suess' interpretations for the same area showing that between the Bohemian and Rhine massifs Mesozoic rocks were folded.[3]

A central tenet in Stille's geology was that geosynclines became depressions without any faulting with any fault found being the product of later processes like the final collapse of the geosyncline.[5]

In 1933 Stille would shorten Leopold Kober's concept of kratogen, that was used to describe those portions of the continental crust that were old and stable, into kraton (English: craton).[6] The Geotectonic Research journal was founded in 1937 by Hans Stille and Franz Lotze.

The enormous influence that Stille's concepts had on tectonics is obvious from many of the tectonic terms still in use today, despite the fact that almost everything he postulated was later shown to be completely erroneous.

Conspiracy theory related to tropical cyclones near Hong Kong In 2010, Severe Tropical Storm Lionrock is clearly shown to have peculiarly avoided Hong Kong. Typhoon Cimaron (2006) was seemingly repelled away from Hong Kong. Some people blamed Li Ka-shing for Hong Kong Observatory's insistence of not issuing a single No. 8 Storm Signal from 2005 to 2006.
