He lived on St. Anthony's Hill in Reval and took part in the reconstruction of Saint Mary's Cathedral after it had been severely damaged by fire in 1684. From 1687 he was employed to work on conversions and improvements to Toompea Castle. In August 1705 he was referred to as ″Königl. Fortifications Bild und Steinhauer″ (royal fortification's sculptor and stonemason). 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. His best known works are several stone sarcophagi that were commissioned for prominent people buried in Saint Mary's Cathedral, notably the grave monuments for Otto Reinhold Taube, as well as the Swedish Field Marshals Fabian von Fersen (crafted by Stockenberg at the end of the 17th century) and Otto Wilhelm von Fersen. Stockenberg died in Reval. • * Illustration — Sarcophagus for Fabian von Fersen * Illustration — Sarcophagus for Otto Reinhold von Taube * Illustration — Sarcophagus for Otto Wilhelm von Fersen
