Triller was the son of the doctor of medicine and professor of mathematics at the Erfurt high school Johann Moritz Triller (1662–1701) and his wife Rosine Sibylla (née Köhler, Koler). In 1701, at the age of six, Triller lost both parents on the same day to a raging fever . First he was educated by his guardian, the mayor Gellert in Altenburg . Later he did not remember this time positively until he was twelve years old. Because at a young age he had already developed a strong instinct for poetry. During this time he was often spoiled for reading books in the evenings. While he was reading, the lights were turned off and he was chased to bed. The administration of his legacy is said to have been poorly managed at the time.

The way of teaching in Altenburg is also not well remembered by Triller. Therefore he found it rather lucky that he was able to attend the grammar school in Zeitz under the rector Herzog. There he laid the foundations of his knowledge of the fine sciences, especially the Greek and Latin languages. Thus educated, he soon had an extensive knowledge of the philosophical sciences at his disposal. From 1713 Triller studied at the University of Leipzig , mainly with Friedrich Menz in philosophy, Johann Christian Lehmann in nature and Johann Burkhard Mencke in history. He acquired the Baccalaurus on December 7, 1715 and became a Master of Philosophy on February 13, 1716 . In the same year he completed his habilitation in Leipzig with the disputation de Moly Homerico cum reliquis argumentis ad fabulam circaeam pertinentibus . At the university he also became a member of the Familiar Society , an association under the aegis of Count von Lotz.

As early as 1714, Triller had decided on a medical career. In addition, he attended the medical lectures of Johannes Bohn , August Quirinus Rivinus and Polycarp Gottlieb Schacher . In 1718 he went to the University of Halle and did his doctorate in medicine with Hofmann with De pinguedine ceu succo nutritio superfluo . In the same year he returned to Leipzig, where he gave private lectures on pharmacy and Greek literature. In his lectures he dealt with the letters of the apostle Paul and dealt extensively with Hippocrates . Since he was becoming increasingly well-known through his lectures, he was offered the position of rural physicist in Merseburg in 1720 . He took up this position, married the daughter of a pharmacist in the same year, became literary active during his time in Merseburg and, after the death of his father-in-law, ran his pharmacy on his own. Since it was forbidden by law to practice the profession of doctor and pharmacist at the same time, he gave up the land physics and remained a pharmacist.

In 1730 he was appointed personal physician to Hereditary Prince Karl von Nassau-Usingen . Since his wife died in 1729, Triller no longer felt particularly bound. So he accompanied the heir to the throne until 1732 on his Grand Tour through France, Switzerland and the Netherlands. During this trip Triller made the acquaintance of many people who were important to him. Particular mention should be made of Nikolaus I Bernoulli , Samuel Werenfels , Herman Boerhaave , Jakob Christian Iselin and Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle . On the occasion of a personal meeting with Franz Stephan von Lothringen , he presented him with a specially written poem in which he had predicted the imperial crown for him fourteen years earlier. This earned Triller the reputation of a prophet for many contemporaries.

In the spring of 1732 Triller returned to Merseburg. Two years later, on October 7, 1734, he married Henriette († August 12, 1751 in Frankfurt), the daughter of the Princely Nassau-Dillenburg Council, Johann Thomas Thomae. There were eight children from this marriage. During these years he lived with his family in Usingen , where he practiced as a doctor and stayed at court. At that time he again felt his violent inclination for poetry. Part of his poetic reflections and Aesopian moral fables emerged as the fruit of his work . In 1744 he was dismissed from the court and accepted a position as personal physician and councilor at the Reichshof council in Frankfurt am Main . Since the activity was so demanding that he could only work literarily to a limited extent, he accepted the position of personal physician with Duke Johann Adolf von Sachsen-Weißenfels in June 1745 and also accompanied him on his Bohemian campaign.

After the death of the potentate, he found in August III. from Saxony a new sponsor. This offered him that he could go to Leipzig or Wittenberg as a university lecturer in medicine. He decided on Wittenberg, where he became the first professor at the medical faculty for pathology and therapy in 1749 after the death of Christian Gottfried Stentzel . In addition, he was appointed to the electoral Saxon court councilor. In his lectures he abandoned the usual compendia and read about the books of Hippocrates and other ancient doctors. His lectures, however, were not very popular. One reason for this may be found in his constant presence at the Saxon court in Dresden, as well as in his research, which is reflected in his works. Triller also took part in the organizational tasks of the Wittenberg Academy. He was dean of the medical faculty twenty-two times and rector of the Wittenberg University six times in the winter semesters of 1751, 1757, 1763, 1769, 1775 and 1781 . Daniel Wilhelm Triller died on May 22, 1782 in Wittenberg at the age of 87. For his own funeral he had composed the chorale DW Trilleri extremum vale, or last farewell thoughts from this world .

Triller was known, at least among his contemporaries, not only as a poet and fabulous poet. Through his acquaintance with Johann Christoph Gottsched , he was drawn into his literary dispute with Johann Jakob Bodmer and Johann Jakob Breitinger , which was conducted with the most lewd bitterness until the Seven Years' War and Gottsched's death put an end to him .
