About Georg Maria Stenz
- Georg Maria Stenz (Chinese: ???; pinyin: Xue Tiánzi, 22 November 1869 – 23 April 1928) was a Catholic missionary of the Society of the Divine Word in Shandong during the period from 1893 to 1927.
- He was involved in two major incidents where force was used against Catholic missionaries in Shandong, the Juye incident and the Jietou incident.
- The Juye incident (1897) was an attack on Stenz's mission station in Zhang Jia Village in which two German missionaries were killed.
- Stenz, who was the likely target of the attack, managed to hide and escaped unharmed.
- The incident was used by the German Empire to justify the occupation of Qingdao.
- In the Jietou incident, Stenz and a group of Chinese Christians were mistreated and held prisoner in the village of Jietou (Chinese: ???; pinyin: Jietóu zhèn, Rizhao) for three days (8–11 November 1898) resulting in German military intervention and compensation claims.
