Hermann Stiller

Hermann Stiller (29 November 1850 – 1931) was a German architect and director of the Kunstgewerbeschule Düsseldorf.

Life Born Gostyń, Stiller studied at the Bauakademie and was there, among other things, a pupil of Friedrich Adler. He received the State Prize of the Academy in 1875 – presumably for his Entwurf zu einer Kunst-Academie. He used the associated bonus for a study trip to Italy in 1876/77. Between 1878 and 1880, he worked under Wilhelm von Mörner on the planning and execution of the new building for the Reichsjustizamt in Berlin, Voßstraße 4/5. and at times served as Vice-Chairman. After moving to Cologne, he transferred to the local Architekten und Ingenieur-Verein für Niederrhein und Westfalen. He became a member of the Bund Deutscher Architekten (BDA), and the local group of the BDA in Cologne later appointed him an honorary member.
