Career

societies

Ernst Müller began his career at Vorwärts 90 Berlin , where he began as a left runner. According to Tauber , he moved to Hertha BSC in 1918 , but did not join the team from Wedding in the mid-1920s . In the final line-ups for the German championship in 1925 and 1926, Müller is not listed at Querengässer . From the finals in 1926/27 he belonged to the team of the Berlin champions , he played on the side of center runner Karl Tewes on the left outer runner position. Müller moved into the final of the German championship against 1. FC Nürnberg with Hertha , but the final was lost 2-0 on June 12 in Berlin. The offensive power of the club forwards Baptist Reinmann , Georg Hochgesang , Josef Schmitt , Ludwig Wieder and Heinrich Träger deservedly prevailed. In the following two years, Hertha lost two more finals against Hamburger SV (2: 5) and SpVgg Fürth (2: 3) for the German championship with Ernst Müller as center runner. It wasn't until 1930 that the Berliners won their first German championship title when they won the final against Holstein Kiel 5-4. Even when the Berlin team won the second and last title in 1931 against TSV 1860 Munich , Müller organized Hertha’s defense. Overall, the defender was in five finals for the German championship, and that in a row from 1927 to 1931. He is led with 22 games in these finals. For Hertha he is said to have played 273 games in the first team.

National team

Three weeks before the final of the German soccer championship in 1931, between the quarter-finals on May 17th and the semi-finals on May 31st, Ernst Müller had his only appearance in the German national team on May 24th under Reich coach Otto Nerz . In addition to Georg Knöpfle and Reinhold Münzenberg , he played in his former regular position as a left runner. The international match in Berlin went down in football history, albeit in Austria. A week earlier Austria had won against Scotland 5-0, now the wonderful team of Federal Captain Hugo Meisl also defeated the German team 6-0. In addition to Müller, Hertha BSC's goalkeeper Paul Gehlhaar and director Johannes Sobek also played in the DFB team that day. Ernst Müller had no chance in a weak German team against the outstanding Friedrich Gschweidl and was never called up to the national team again.

In 1929 he belonged to the winning team of Brandenburg in the competition for the federal cup. On April 28, 1929, Brandenburg prevailed 4-1 against northern Germany. In the winning team, Gehlhaar (goalkeeper), Heinz Emmerich , Hans Brunke , Willi Völker , Karl Schulz from Viktoria 89 and Müller formed the defensive.
