Möller was born as the first of eight children to the businessman and farmer Heinrich Möller and his wife Elisabeth, née Schulze zur Hörst. The Milter village pastor gave him additional lessons in preparation for his admission to the Warendorfer grammar school.

The diagnostic methods and surgical techniques developed by Möller on pets and horses made him and the clinic internationally known. The distinction between slope and support leg lameness in horses goes back to Möller . His experiments in the surgical treatment of arytenoid cartilage for the therapy of laryngeal whistling in horses attracted attention ; He also developed surgical procedures for treating ossified ankle joints in horses.

Möller was a member of various academic professional associations including the Berlin Veterinary Society and, due to his international reputation, an honorary member of the veterinary associations in Hungary, the USA and Great Britain.

Möller was the son-in-law of the important Freemason Hermann Settegast and between 1900 and 1925 Grand Master of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Hamburg in Berlin.
