meaning

Gill began his career in the 1950s in the then independent Saarland , where he worked as a television director for the French-financed TeleSaar , which was designed for a German-speaking Saarland target audience . Gill was the only director of the young station who already broadcast a daily news program and an hour-long regional magazine before German broadcasters began; both fell within the director's area of ​​responsibility. At that time he also met his wife Ilse Laudenklos, who worked there as a sound engineer; she was the later chief editor of the Saarland broadcasting company . After the Saarland was reintegrated into the Federal Republic, TeleSaar ceased operations in 1958.

Gill now worked as a freelance filmmaker for the German public broadcasters ARD and ZDF . He made a name for himself both as a documentary filmmaker with socially relevant reports, as well as an author and director of series and game productions (also created with educational aspirations). The social significance is explained, for example, by the fact that the periphrase “demigod in white” (for medical professionals, especially chief physicians) comes from Gill, who first used it in a critical report from 1970 about the health care system and thus a linguistic discussion had solved.

In some cases, Gill's production company was so successful that, although a freelance author himself, he became a voluntary employer member of the pension fund for freelance workers at an early stage - also to meet his own social standards.
