Hilgers attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy from 1833 to 1844 as a student of Johann Wilhelm Schirmer and then remained in his master class for several years. After a four-year stopover in Berlin , he returned to Düsseldorf. In addition to other painters from the Düsseldorf School, he was friends with the Rhenish painter Caspar Scheuren .
