Abstract: We consider surfaces of class $C^1$ in the $3$-dimensional sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group ${mathbbH}^1$. Assuming the surface is area-stationary, i.e., a critical point of the sub-Riemannian perimeter under compactly supported variations, we show that its regular part is foliated by horizontal straight lines. In case the surface is complete and oriented, without singular points, and stable, i.e., a second order minimum of perimeter, we prove that the surface must be a vertical plane. This implies the following Bernstein type result: a complete locally area-minimizing intrinsic graph of a $C^1$ function in ${mathbbH}^1$ is a vertical plane.
