Lillie (1806) by Hauttmann

Joseph Christian Lillie (born March 20, 1760 in Copenhagen , † January 29, 1827 in Lübeck ) was an architect and interior designer of Danish classicism .

Life

Joseph Christian Lillie received his education at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen as a student of Caspar Frederik Harsdorff . His fellow student was Christian Frederik Hansen , with whom he remained on friendly terms even after his studies. In 1790 Lillie took over the position of court decorator.

After the bankruptcy of his initially successful cabinet maker, Lillie fled Copenhagen to what was then Danish Schleswig-Holstein around 1799 . Here his friend Hansen, who had been a master builder for Holstein and Altona / Elbe since 1784, employed him as a building manager (site supervisor) in his projects. Finally, Lillie was able to settle down as an architect in the Free Imperial and Hanseatic City of Lübeck and, during the French period in Lübeck, was able to take on the position of master builder as the successor to Ernst Christian August Behrens . He also worked as the head of the local drawing school for builders.

Lillie was buried in the cemetery of the St. Jürgen Chapel in Lübeck, where his grave has been preserved and will be used later.
