He graduated from the Luisenstädtische Gymnasium in Berlin and studied mathematics and physics at the University of Göttingen and in Berlin since 1875 . In 1878 he became an honorary member of the association and later fraternity of Holzminda in Göttingen . In 1880 he was in Göttingen at Hermann Schwarz to Dr. rer. nat. PhD .

He then went to Hamburg for a short period of time at the Deutsche Seewarte and in 1892 became a member of the Technical Commission for Maritime Shipping in the Reich Office of the Interior in Berlin .

In 1890 he was a founding member of the German Mathematicians Association .

After Arthur Breusing became aware of him, he became a teacher at the seafaring school in Bremen , of which he was director from 1897 to October 1, 1927. Julius Preuss was his successor. In 1905 Schilling was a co-founder and until 1923 chairman of the Nautical Association .
