    Apply a pattern fill. There are various of them included with AI. Just open the respective additional swatch library. To rotate them, use the rotate tool's panel dialog and chose to only transform the fill, not the object.

      Thanks for the information. I am wondering which swatch library I have to use.. I cant find one that seems suitable for line hatches.

      Patterns --> Basic?! Works for me. If you need the hatching to be according to DIN, ISO or local construction rules, you may need to adjust it or build your own ones, though.
