Life

Hüllmann studied after high school, military service and shipyard internship from 1883 to 1887 at the Technical University of Charlottenburg and received the silver award medal for his diploma examination.

He joined the Imperial Navy and was soon employed as a naval master builder at the Kaiserliche Werft Wilhelmshaven . Further stations in 1894 were the Reichsmarineamt in Berlin, where he was entrusted with teaching on the equipment of warships at the Technical University of Charlottenburg. This was followed in 1897 by the Kaiserliche Werft Kiel , where he became director of shipbuilding in 1899.

In 1906 he was reappointed to the Reichsmarineamt and on May 27, 1907, he was appointed secret senior building officer and head of department in the construction department. Now he took on Rudloff's duties as chief designer until 1913 , who was appointed to the Technical University of Charlottenburg.

In 1913, Hüllmann was appointed full professor of warship construction at the Technical University of Berlin-Charlottenburg and on June 28, 1913, he said goodbye to the navy. On July 15, 1913, he was appointed professor, held the post of rector of the university from autumn 1917 to 1918 and retired on April 20, 1926.
