family

education and profession

Zill graduated from high school at the Barkhof . From 1928 to 1932 he studied architecture at the Technical University of Dresden . He then completed his legal clerkship and became a government builder . Around 1934 he became a building officer and later senior building officer in the Reichsmarine and Kriegsmarine . He planned and realized buildings for the Navy a. a. in Plön (barracks), Swinoujscie and Bordeaux .

After the Second World War , Zill initially worked in Syke for the Lüning concrete plant. The family moved back to Bremen in 1949 and he had been running an architecture office at Petriestraße 2 (today Wachtstraße) and Rembertistraße 32 in Bremen-Mitte from 1949.

His early plans from 1955 attracted attention: the four-story Puls-Eck commercial building in the Ostertor district of Bremen as an urban accent on the corner of Ostertorsteinweg and Contrescarpe and the seven-story BP house on Breiten Weg. He planned many residential buildings from the 1950s and was often used by Gewoba . The office received the planning contracts for the medical center and the AOK building through competition victories. The seven- and five-storey AOK administration building on the corner of Bürgermeister-Smidt-Strasse 95 / Am Wall 103, which was later given a redesigned facade, shaped the cityscape .

1968 Zill created the first preliminary design for the residential area of ​​Bremen - Osterholz-Tenever for 2500 residential units with a central main access road; The plan was realized by Gerhard G. Dittrich from the Städtebauinstitut Nürnberg (SIN) for the now condensed demonstrative building project with a lateral access for now 4500 apartments (2500 units were built).
The 16-storey, staggered Gewoba high-rise was built according to his plans by 1972 on Breiten Weg in Bremen. His proposal to build a multi-storey car park in Violenstrasse in Bremen-Mitte and to demolish the listed Haus Vorwärts in 1970 was not approved.

In 1971 the office community Zill, Haslob , Hartlich and Schütz was established , which existed until his death in 1978.

He was buried in the Riensberg cemetery .
