He was born as the son of the mail car supervisor Andreas de Millas (* Aldingen November 21, 1761; † Stuttgart February 1, 1832) and Barbara Eleonore, born in Burkhardt (* Ludwigsburg January 22, 1774; † Stuttgart November 7, 1850). On October 6, 1839, de Millas married Caroline Cluss (* November 12, 1817; † March 18, 1858) from the Heilbronn craftsman and entrepreneur family Cluss and thus became brother-in-law of the architect Adolf Cluss and the brewery entrepreneur August Cluss. The marriage had nine children between 1840 and 1858: Carl Heinrich (* March 17, 1841), Herrmann Ludwig (Louis) (* October 31, 1843), Anna Julie Caroline (* November 15, 1844), Julie Sophie de Millas (* December 2, 1846), Adolf Friedrich (* January 30, 1848), Emil Otto (* March 26, 1854), Julie Annelie (* September 26, 1855) and Paul Wilhelm (* March 13, 1858).

After the death of his wife, he married Marie Dünger from Oberesslingen on September 20, 1859 in Stuttgart (* October 10, 1819, † January 6, 1890). De Millas, like his parents, was buried in the Fangelsbach cemetery in Stuttgart.

Act

He came to Heilbronn in 1838 as a pupil of the Stuttgart architect Ludwig Friedrich Gaab , where he filled the post of city and foundation architect created two years earlier . In order to steer the growth of the up-and-coming industrial city in an orderly way, de Millas drafted an urban planning plan in 1839, which provided for the construction of new suburbs in front of the city gates at that time and which formed the basis of the urban planning in Heilbronn until Reinhard Baumeister's second urban planning plan from 1873.

After his six-year contract expired, de Millas moved to Ulm in 1844 as a road construction inspector . About his successor in Heilbronn, Ferdinand Weihenmeier, there were soon complaints about an unsteady lifestyle and drunkenness. After Weihenmeier's suicide in 1847, de Millas returned to Heilbronn, and his position was guaranteed for life. In 1857 he finally left the city to live and work in Stuttgart .

In addition to his urban planning work de Millas also designed Heilbronner building as the Villa Goppelt of 1842 and the Villa bucket of 1857 and along with Hermann Maute the Cotta'sche Villa of 1855 on the Hipfelhof near the hamlet of Heilbronn Frankenbach . In 1851 he restored the Nikolaikirche in Heilbronn, which had been used for other purposes , as a church, in the same year he designed several economic buildings in the upper Neipperg Castle , and in 1856/57 he built the Protestant church in Züttlingen .
