German for "Stop!" is "Stillstanden" pron. shtillshtanden.



I think you may have the wrong word. "Still" in German means more like
"quiet", or "calm". "Stillstanden" would mean "standing quietly", or
standing calmly".

The German word for "Stop!", as in a command to cease all motion, would
be..."Stop". German stop signs meant for drivers of motor vehicles
say "Stop" on them.
