Taking their stage name from the famed German poet, the production duo of Schiller originally consisted of Mirko von Schlieffen & Christopher von Deylen and debuted in 1998 with Glockenspiel. The two layered trance beats and spoken poetry, which resulted in a couple of trance chart-toppers in Europe in the late '90s and early 2000. Zeitgeist marked the band's debut in early 2001. Schiller's second studio album Weltreise was inspired by a two-month-long road trip that Christopher took with his father from London to Beijing.
The duo soon had creative differences and Mirko departed, leaving Christopher to continue on his own.
Christopher does not provide vocals for any of his compositions. Instead, he chooses to collaborate with singers from within and outside of Germany. Musicians and vocalists who have worked with Schiller include Ben Becker, Moya Brennan of the Celtic group Clannad, Sarah Brightman, Peter Heppner of the German synth pop band Wolfsheim, Xavier Naidoo, Kim Sanders, Ana Torroja, lead singer of the Spanish pop group Mecano, Mike Oldfield, Damae of Fragma and many, many more.
Schiller's collaboration with Wolfsheim's Peter Heppner resulted in 2 very distinctly melancholic tracks: 'Dream of You' and 'I Feel You'.

Schiller mit Heppner - Dream Of You by quattro21
Lyrics:
I've been here all the time
As far as I know doing right
I've always waited for the moment
That you would come through my door
But this brought loneliness so far
I lay my hand onto my heart
Is this the life I want to live
Is this the dream I had of you?
But this brought loneliness so far
I lay my hand onto my heart
Is this the life I want to live
Is this the dream I had of you...
the dream I had of you?
Now I'm standing here alone
I'm waiting on my own
For something that will fill the emptiness inside
The moment that you're mine
But this is loneliness I know
I lay my hand onto my soul
Is this what life has got to give
Is this the dream I had of you...
The dream I had of you?
But this is loneliness I know
I lay my hand onto my soul
Is this what life has got to give?
Is this the dream,
the dream I had of you?

I Feel U ... -Schiller by payam-e
Lyrics:
I feel you...
In every stone
In every leaf of every tree
You've ever grown
That you ever might have grown
I feel you...
In every thing
In every river that might flow
In every seed you might have sown
I feel you...
In every vein
In every beating of my heart
Each breath I take
In every breath I'll ever take
I feel you...
Anyway...
In every tear that i might shed
In every word i've never said
I feel you...
