Life

Dillenius' parents were Friedrich Wilhelm Dillenius (1792–1862), from 1834 district building officer of the Jagstkreis in Ellwangen , and Gottliebin Luise Wilhelmine's husband (1793–1839). Six of his eleven siblings died early. In 1851 he married Maria Wolff (1826–1918); they had no children.

After professional positions as a financial advisor in Schöntal and a cameraman in Heidenheim (from January 4, 1845), Dillenius was from September 16, 1848, an office assistant at the tax committee in Stuttgart. Also in 1848 he became a member of the Württemberg Railway Commission. From 1858 to May 1880 he headed the railway administration, and from 1875 to 1880 he was general director of the Württ. Verkehrsanstalten. In 1870 he was appointed an extraordinary member of the Privy Council .

On July 8, 1875, he resigned his mandate because of the promotion to President of the General Directorate of the Transport Authority, but after re-election on March 28, 1876, he re-entered the state parliament.
