Maximilian Stoll

Maximilian Stoll (October 12, 1742 – May 25, 1787) was an Austrian physician who was a native of Erzingen, Baden-Württemberg.

Stoll originally trained as a theologian, with his interests later turning to medicine, and in 1776 attained a professorship at the University of Vienna.

In Vienna he worked closely with Leopold Auenbrugger (1722–1809) and Anton von Störck (1731–1803).

He also developed a system of classifying diseases that was similar to the nosology of Thomas Sydenham (1624–1689).

Stoll was a popular lecturer, and is considered an important figure in the "Old Vienna School" of medicine, a group that included Auenbrugger, Störck, Gerard van Swieten (1700–1772), et al.
