biography

Müller-Brauel learned to be a carpenter. He then also worked as a farmer in Zeven . In 1885 he was first assistant and supervisor for prehistory collections in Hamburg, then in Hanover, Bremen and Lüneburg.

The position as an assistant at the prehistoric department of the Provincial Museum in Hanover was arranged for him by the archaeologist and occasional poet Friedrich Tewes , who later headed the Fatherland Museum in Hanover . Together they participated in the dissemination of anti-Semitic writings.

From 1887 Müller-Brauel wrote treatises on prehistoric subjects. As an excavation assistant and hobby archaeologist, he secured numerous large stone grave finds in his home region of Zeven, among other things, and collected and archived prehistoric tools, weapons and pieces of jewelry. He wrote about this in the magazine Mannus (magazine) - a now politically controversial specialist journal for prehistory - published by the settlement chaeologist Professor Gustaf Kossinna , who became a public sponsor and co-founder of the National Socialist Society for German Culture as early as 1928 and was a member of the racial Nordic Ring .

The Bremen coffee entrepreneur, Nazi sympathizer and cultural promoter Ludwig Roselius commissioned Müller-Brauel in 1927 to set up the Museum of Father's Studies . In 1933 the museum moved into the Atlantis house on Böttcherstraße in Bremen. Müller-Brauel took over the management of the museum in which Roselius housed his extensive prehistoric collections with the aim of deriving the Nordic as well as the American culture from the lost Atlantis.

An important encounter from 1894 onwards was Müller-Brauel's close friendship with the poet and private scholar Hermann Allmers , whom he accompanied on his travels to southern Germany from 1895 and by whom he was dubbed his chosen nephew. Allmers separated from Müller-Brauel in 1896, who was accused of scheming and "indiscreet handling of Allmers' collection of letters".

In Munich he drew several portraits of Allmers and wrote biographical sketches about him, which he published in 1897.

In addition to the volume of Hannoversches Dichterbuch, published in 1898, with illustrations by Heinrich Vogeler , he wrote numerous other writings and essays on local and cultural history. From 1903 to 1906 he also published the home calendar Der Heidjer . Around 1920 Willi Wegewitz worked under his guidance as a prehistory. In 1926 he gave the prehistoric objects he had collected to the Morgenstern Museum in Bremerhaven .

He was a member of the Nordic Society, which had been brought into line by the National Socialists since 1933 . The Bremen chairman was Richard von Hoff , National Socialist Education Senator, later SS-Obergruppenführer and NSDAP main trainer for racial issues since 1930.

In Brauel near Zeven there was also a small artist colony around the Sachsenhof with Müller-Brauel, Karl Holleck-Weithmann and Wilhelm Frahm-Pauli .

There is a Hans Müller Brauel room with a library in the Museum Kloster Zeven .
