In his childhood Hille served as a page at the Elector Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg's court in Brandenburg . With this he was later accepted into the Fruitful Society .

In 1634, at the age of 44, Hille married Helena Katharina von Oeynhausen .

When Prince Ludwig I of Anhalt-Köthen visited Prince Gustav Adolf in Mecklenburg, whose guardian he was, at the end of 1636 on his north German trip , he accepted this, Hille and some other Güstrow court officials into the Fruitful Society . Here, Hille was given the company name of the undaunted and the motto in beneficial effects . As an emblem he was given "the berry peel" (Acanthus mollis L.) . Hilles entry can be found in the Koethen company register under the number 302; there is also his rhyme law, which he wrote as thanks for his recording:

That right berries Klaw works and heals in many ways,
And all moisture in the body will be divided.
Drumb Undaunted, I liked to call myself
And because I know that God also gave riches
I will indefatigably devote myself to the stimulation
That I may call myself his servant in good health.
Disgruntled, make me rich, O Lord
That in contention Jch ia nit backward soft.

On January 26, 1645, Hille was taken over by Duke August d. J. von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel was appointed tutor of his musical wife Sophie Elisabeth. At Easter of the same year Christian Ludwig von Braunschweig offered him the post of Drosten , but Hille refused and stayed at the court in Wolfenbüttel .
