Hansjakob Lill

Hansjakob Lill (born March 6, 1913 in Munich ; † February 21, 1967 there ) was a German architect .

Life

His parents were the art historian Georg Lill , director of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation, and Maria Lill geb. Berten. Both parents' families come from Würzburg.

From 1932 to 1937 Lill studied at the Technical University of Munich with Adolf Abel , German Bestelmeyer and Hans Döllgast . During his studies he worked in the offices of Hans Döllgast and Sep Ruf . In 1937 he completed his studies with the main diploma examination and began a legal clerkship in the state building administration, which he completed with the second state examination for government builder ( assessor in construction).

In 1939 he married the pianist Wilhelmine ( Helma ) Küchle (1915–2004), a daughter of Wilhelm Küchle, director of the Hackerbrauerei , and Marietta Küchle geb. Zettler.

From 1941 he fought as a soldier in World War II. After his release from American captivity in 1946, he worked as a freelancer, initially also working for Hermann Leitenstorfer at the Technical University of Munich.

From the 1950s onwards, Hansjakob Lill, along with Sep Ruf and Thomas Wechs, was one of the pioneers of the new Catholic church building. In particular his new buildings, which moved the word altar into the center of the room after the Second Vatican Council , are important witnesses of the church building at that time.

Hansjakob Lill fell seriously ill and died at the age of almost 54; he was buried in the Bogenhausen cemetery in Munich ( grave no. 135 ).

Many of the building projects he had started were completed by his brother, the Cologne architect Fritz Lill. Lill's great commitment to the German Society for Christian Art and to the Société Internationale des Artistes Chrétiens (SIAC) continued for many decades by his widow Helma Lill.
