Heio Müller

Heinz "Heio" Otto Müller (* 1917 ; † 1968 ) was a German radio director and author who mainly attracted attention with his cabaret shows and programs.

Life

Heio Müller began his radio career as an editor at Hessischer Rundfunk, where he worked as a freelancer until his death after a long and serious illness. Outside of the satirical area, the cabaret artist u. a. Direction of radio plays, for example in crime stories such as the Philip Odell case Die Dame im Nebel (1956), and staged noted features e.g. B. by Ulrike Meinhof (1964). However, Müller achieved particular fame through his long radio satirical series Hard to believe, but official , of which he was the director and author. These "cabaret announcements" dealt with arbitrariness in the young FRG; the title of the show became a catchphrase. In addition to his radio work, Müller delivered a. a. also text contributions for the television satire show Hello Neighbors . In 1965 an edition in which he was involved was not broadcast for a short time, the series after that was canceled. The cabaret program written by him Do you feel like it? (1966) for Die Wühlmäuse with continuous roles and storyline is regarded as a “radical break with the traditional form” and significant for the further development of German cabaret, which up until then did not know the satirical large form.

Heio Müller was 51 years old.
