Biography
Peter Hille was born in East Westphalia, in the family of a teacher. He studied at the gymnasiums of Hokster and Münster. Back in school, he entered the secret youth union Zatrebil (Satrebil) . Its members studied the works of K. Marx , C. Darwin , P.J. Proudhon , A. Bebel, and others. In 1874, P. Hille was expelled from the gymnasium for poor performance and then served as a clerk at the public prosecutor in Hoeckster, and later worked as a proofreader in one of the Leipzig printing houses. In 1877, Peter Hille began to collaborate with the magazine German Poetry ( Deutsche Dichtung ), which published his poems for the first time. For the German monthly magazine ( Deutsche Monatsblätter ), he publishes articles on literary criticism. For some time, Hille worked in Bremen in the socialist newspaper Bremer Tageblatt . In 1880, the writer lived in London in very modest conditions and studied theories of socialism and anarchism there.
Having received the inheritance, Peter Hille financed the performances of a certain Dutch theater troupe that ruined him. The poet lived in miserable conditions, often as a homeless man. In 1888, he contracted tuberculosis . Nevertheless, he did not leave literary studies and played an important role in the development of the naturalistic genre in Germany. With the help of Karl Henkel, the poet went to Zurich, and from there went to Southern Europe. In 1891, he lived with his friend Julius Garth . The police pursued Hille, seeing him as a dangerous socialist. Hille was hiding from surveillance all over Germany until he arrived in Berlin in 1895. In Berlin, the Hill was supported by well-known naturalist writers in Germany, with their financial assistance he opened a cabaret in 1902. Died of tuberculosis.
