Friedrich Wilhelm Muller

Friedrich "Fritz" Wilhelm Müller (born January 16, 1897 in Obersdorf , Siegen district, † March 18, 1952 in Lippstadt ) was a German miner and politician ( NSDAP ).

Life

Müller was the son of the miner Jakob Müller from Oberrossbach im Dillkreis. He attended elementary school in his mother's place of residence in Obersdorf. He was a school friend of the dialect poet Wilhelm Schmidt (1898–1965). Since 1911 Müller worked as a miner in Siegerland iron ore mines . Until its closure in 1932, he was the works council chairman of the Ameise mine .

From September 1916 to July 1917, Müller took part in the First World War in Russia and France as a member of Infantry Regiment No. 87 .

In the 1920s, Müller began to be politically active in the NSDAP . In 1925 he joined the NSDAP (No. 35,900), then left in 1927 and rejoined in 1930 at the latest. Since 1925 he was the local group leader and working group leader of his party. In 1929, possibly at the time of his non-membership, he was elected to the district council of the Siegen district. In 1930 he ran as an NSDAP candidate for the Reichstag elections. In April 1932 he was a candidate of the NSDAP for the Prussian state parliament. From July to November 1932 and from March 1933 to March 1936, Müller was a member of the Reichstag as a member of constituency 18 (South Westphalia). At an unknown time, he resigned from the Protestant Church. Despite the break in party membership, he received the "Alte Garde" badge of honor from the "Old Fighters" (= "Golden Party Badge").

From 1934 to the end of 1942, Müller was employed as Oberstfeldmeister (= captain) in the Reich Labor Service (RAD). Between 1940 and 1941 he led field service commands in Holland, Belgium and France (production of airfields). In November 1941 he resigned for health reasons. Intended as NSDAP district leader in Brilon in 1941, he failed to take office due to illness. In January 1941, Müller became a representative of the NSDAP district leader in Iserlohn. From June 1, 1943, he was assigned to Stettin as district officer for the South Westphalian relocated people in Gau Pommern . Between April 1944 and April 1945 he acted as NSDAP district organization leader in Lippstadt.

After the end of the Nazi regime , Müller was arrested by the military government as an Nazi burden and interned in Recklinghausen from November 1945 to August 1947. On September 1, 1947, the 2nd Chamber of the Recklinghausen Arbitration Court issued a fine of 3,000 RM, which, as usual, was considered to have been served by internment.

After 1945 Müller lived in Lippstadt and worked as a security guard.
