Friedrich Müller (theologian)

Friedrich Müller (born December 1, 1714 in Jessen ; † May 2, 1750 in Zeitz ) was a German Protestant theologian .

Life

Müller was a son of the superintendent (and later provost) August Müller (1679–1749) and of Eleonore Christine geb. von Nitzsch (* 1697). He was a brother of the theologian Gottlieb Müller (1721–1793).

Müller came to Kemberg with his parents in 1716 , where he spent his childhood. After attending the local school, he was sent early to Wittenberg , where he probably attended the Lyceum and then began studying theology at the university. In 1736, Müller completed his habilitation here to obtain a master's degree. However, he did not pursue his university career any further, but instead took a position as 3rd deacon in Torgau in 1738 . Here he married the pastor's daughter Margarethe Elisabeth Kiesling, in which no offspring were born. In the course of the years he rose to the position of first deacon, and in 1745 moved to Weißenfels in the position of archdeacon . Three years later he took over the pastor's position at the Church of St. Nikolai in Zeitz, where he died two years later.

Müller published at least seven texts in Latin and German.
