Heinrich Müller (politician, 1885)

Heinrich Müller (born August 14, 1885 in Liederbach , † March 8, 1943 in Hanover ) was a German politician (NSDAP). Müller became known as a member of the Reichstag and deputy mayor of the city of Hanover. He is not to be confused with the Gestapo boss Heinrich Müller .

Live and act

After attending primary school, Müller worked briefly in agriculture. After serving in the German army for four years, he joined the Hanover Police Service in 1909 . As a professional police officer , Müller was promoted to detective secretary in 1925 and to detective inspector on February 15, 1933 .

In 1922 Müller became a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP). After the party was temporarily banned at the end of 1923, Müller joined one of its numerous rescue organizations. As early as May 1924, Müller and the later Reich Minister of Education, Bernhard Rust, were elected to the Hanover Citizens Committee, with Müller taking over the chairmanship of the mini parliamentary group. In 1929 the two were re-elected, with Rust initially taking over the chairmanship of the NSDAP faction, which had now grown significantly. After Rust left the board of directors in 1930, the office again passed into Müller's hands. In December 1932, Müller took over the management of the NSDAP district office for local politics, which he led until 1935, in addition to his previous competencies.

Less than two weeks after the National Socialists came to power at the end of January 1933, Müller was given the job of leading the political police in Hanover. In this capacity he was given the task of contributing to the consolidation of the power of the NSDAP in the region . Just one month later, Müller was elected mayor and spokesman for the city council in the municipal elections of March 12, 1933.

On April 26, 1933, Müller, who was regarded as a police officer with modest intellectual abilities, was elected mayor or deputy mayor of Hanover. As a partner of the Lord Mayor Arthur Quantity , he brought the administration of the city on the National Socialist line. Parallel to his regional duties, Müller sat for eight months, from March to November 1933, as a member of the Reichstag , in which he represented constituency 16 (southern Hanover-Braunschweig).
