Life

Heinrich Müller was the son of Heinrich and Marie Müller. He attended the teachers' college in Usingen from the age of 15 , where he stayed until 1919. In 1922 he passed the first state examination and from 1924 worked as a teacher in Frankfurt and Usingen. In 1929 he also passed the second state examination. In 1926 he married and became a teacher in Westerfeld . Allegations that he would "contaminate the children in a Marxist way" were legally clarified in 1931 after Müller undertook not to let Die Internationale sing in school or to raise the students in the Marxist spirit. Müller switched to the agricultural school in Usingen and was dismissed from school service for political reasons in October 1933, but then reinstated on a probationary basis in 1940 and served for life in 1944. In the meantime he had worked as an insurance agent. From 1940 to 1944 he took part in the Second World War as a soldier and became a prisoner of war .

After the war ended, Müller resumed teaching. In August 1949 he was appointed to the government and school council in Darmstadt .

He was a member of the German Bundestag in its first legislative period from 1949 to 1953. In parliament he represented the constituency of Bad Homburg .

After the local elections in Hesse in 1946 , he was unanimously elected as district administrator by the district council.

In 1953 he was again district administrator in Usingen and remained in this office until his death in 1966.
