He attended the Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen , the royal academic institute for church music in Berlin and then worked mainly as a music teacher. From April 1, 1890, he worked as a seminar music teacher at the Royal Prussian Seminar (today the Ludwig-Meyn-Gymnasium ) in Uetersen . Willich was considered a "quiet musician" of impeccable character and was small in stature. He was always dressed in a broad-brimmed hat that was typical of musicians at the time. In his honest manner, he tended to suggest the following to an unmusical and untalented pianist: “We'd rather give up playing the piano” on the other hand, he also encouraged his students in choral singing and music theory. Willich trained talented pianists to become organists and sometimes accompanied them into adulthood. As an author, Willich wrote various biographies and essays in various reference works .
