Fritz Tillmann was ordained a priest in 1898 and was then a student chaplain in Bonn. In 1908 he habilitated himself and taught from 1913 to 1939 as a professor of Catholic moral theology; His habilitation was actually for New Testament. Tillmann’s technical approach remained true to his biblical beginnings by the moral theology as the teaching of the Succession of Christ understanding; The dismissal of morality to the Bible was indispensable.

From 1919 to 1921 he was the rector of the University of Bonn, from 1923 chairman of the association Studentenwohl Bonn e. V. , the forerunner of the Studentenwerk Bonn. On his initiative, this was created Tillmanneum , the first German student house with cafeteria, burse, printing company, reading and society rooms, [first] which was inaugurated on October 25, 1924. [2] [3]

From 1928 he belonged to the board of the German Studentenwerk. He was also decisive in the foundation of the university association, whose chair he held from 1929 to 1933. In 1935 he gave the multi -volume work Handbook of Catholic Morge out of here. “Through his writings, Tillmann made a significant contribution to reforming the church moral theory.” [4]

Tillmann was a member of the Center Party [5] , the Catholic student connections KDStV Bavaria Bonn (from 1901), KDStV Ripuaria Bonn, KDStV Borusso-Westfalia Bonn, all three in CV, and KDB Winfridia Bonn in RKDB. [6]

Tillmann has lived in Honnef in the last decades of his life. He was buried in the Rhöndorf forest cemetery. [7]

Already during Tillmann’s lifetime, the first student dormitory opened on May 8, 1952 [8] [9] of the Bonn Studentenwerk at Lennéstraße 26–28 named after him. The first home manager was the botany professor Maximilian Steiner. [ten] The home was called the name Tillmannhaus over decades until its last use as a “dormitory” for foreign students; [11] It is only in the course of the current redesign of the Lenné/Nasse-/Kaiserstraße Kaiserstrasse [twelfth]

Shortly after Tillmann’s death, the Bonn city council decided on March 1, 1956, in the Bonn Südstadt Tillmann-Haus and the university main building Hofgartenstrasse in Fritz-Tillmann-Strasse to rename. [13] She still bears this name today.
