Stockenberg was born in Sweden (probably in Stockholm)[1] and came to Reval (Tallinn) from Copenhagen (Denmark), where he had moved with his brother in law Abraham-César Lamoureux in 1681.[4]
He lived on St. Anthony's Hill in Reval [5] and took part in the reconstruction of Saint Mary's Cathedral after it had been severely damaged by fire in 1684.[6][7] From 1687 he was employed to work on conversions and improvements to Toompea Castle.[7][8] In August 1705 he was referred to as ″Königl. Fortifications Bild und Steinhauer″ (royal fortification's sculptor and stonemason).[9]
In 1688, he constructed the windows, doors and stairs for Maardu Manor, which brought him into conflict with the guild of masons and sculptors as he was not a member of the guild.[5]
His best known works are several stone sarcophagi that were commissioned for prominent people buried in Saint Mary's Cathedral,[10] notably the grave monuments for Otto Reinhold Taube ,[11] as well as the Swedish Field Marshals Fabian von Fersen (crafted by Stockenberg at the end of the 17th century)[12] and Otto Wilhelm von Fersen.[2]
Stockenberg died in Reval.
