Alliance coat of arms and ownership entry in Mülich's copy of the Mentelin Bible
Hektor Mülich (* around 1420 in Augsburg ; † between October 1489 / October 1490 there ) was an Augsburg merchant and chronicler .
From 1465 to 1485, Hektor Mülich is proven to be a councilor. In his second marriage he was married to Anna, daughter of Jakob Fugger the Elder .
His handwritten chronicle, which dates back to 1487, is considered an excellent source. It was continued by Wilhelm Rem until 1511.
Hector Mülich collected books. Some manuscripts are still preserved, some of which he copied and illustrated with his own hand - partly together with his brother Jörg. But he also owned a copy of the printed Mentelin Bible .
