He competed at the inaugural 1962 World Rowing Championships. The Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d'Aviron (FISA) did not recognise East Germany, and so only one German crew was permitted per event. Selection trials between East and West German crews were held the day before the championships, with West German crews winning in six of the seven categories.[1] Hill was the only East German who qualified (in the single sculls), but he did not proceed beyond the heats.[2] Hill was out of form in the following year and did not even make it to the selection trials for the 1963 European Rowing Championships.[3] He won the selection trial for the 1964 European Rowing Championships and came seventh at the regatta.[4]

Hill studied airplane construction in West Berlin before the wall was raised,[5] he then moved to Dresden, where he graduated as an engineer at the Institute of Rail Vehicles.[6]

Hill married Gisela Jäger in 1973.[7] He died on 4 August 2015.[8]
