Life

Hermann Müller, who later expanded his name to include his mother's maiden name, was born as the eldest of 11 children of the lawyer and later Mayor of Neubrandenburg, Friedrich Müller , and his wife Friederica, nee. Strübing (1790-1860), the daughter of a lawyer from Neubrandenburg. The writer Luise Mühlbach was his sister.

Müller-Strübing attended the large city school in Neubrandenburg, where he was a classmate of Wilhelm Ahlers and co-founder of the Teutonia school association , and since his father's death (1830) the Carolinum grammar school in Neustrelitz , where he passed the Abitur at Easter 1831.

He studied law in Berlin and Heidelberg from 1831 to 1833 . During his studies in 1832 he became a member of the old Heidelberg fraternity Franconia and belonged to their closer association. He was involved in the preparations for the Frankfurt Wachensturm , but did not take part directly because the Heidelberg fraternity was only to be deployed on the Mannheim Rhine Bridge after a successful storm , which, however, no longer took place due to the suppression of the Wachensturm. His matriculation was found with Wilhelm Obermüller , whom he wanted to help escape. Müller-Strübing was arrested in 1833. He was interrogated for months in the Berlin police headquarters, in the house bailiwick and in the city bailiwick and finally confessed. Because of his statements, numerous arrests were made and the federal central authority was used. As the alleged ringleader in the Frankfurt Wachensturm, he was sentenced to death by the wheel in 1835 , but pardoned in 1836 to life imprisonment at the Posen Fortress . After he was released due to an amnesty when Friedrich Wilhelm IV took office in 1840, he continued his studies of philosophy in Berlin and Jena and was awarded a Dr. phil. PhD .

Because of his past, he was unable to complete his habilitation as a private lecturer in Berlin as planned , or in Jena. His brother-in-law Theodor Mundt encouraged him in his writing career. Müller-Strübing worked for the Vossische Zeitung in Berlin, among others . Arnold Ruge placed him in 1843 as a Berlin correspondent for the Rheinische Zeitung , which was under the direction of Karl Marx . In the revolution of 1848/1849 he got involved in Berlin, albeit without assuming a leading role there. He worked for the democratic daily newspaper Berliner Zeitungs-Halle and became known as a popular speaker under the name Linden-Müller . He associated with the Democratic MPs Carl d'Ester and Julius Stein . He was friends with Mikhail Alexandrowitsch Bakunin , who lived with him for a while and with whom he wrote the advertising pamphlet Call for the Slaves in 1848 .

After the failed revolution, he went to Paris in 1849 . There he was in a circle of friends around Pauline Viardot-García , Manuel Patricio Rodríguez García , Iwan Turgenew , Alexander Herzen and Georg Herwegh . In Paris he demonstrated for the Roman Republic with Alexandre Ledru-Rollin . Müller-Strübing was friends with George Sand , on whose estate he lived for some time and taught German, Latin and piano with the landlords.

In 1852 he fled to London, where he earned his living teaching and working as a newspaper correspondent. He worked as a teacher for ancient Greek and German as well as a translator . In 1866 he made a trip to Italy , on which he sided with Prussia in the German War . Müller-Strübing researched and published on Greek history and literature . In 1877 he took a trip to Greece . Due to his scientific achievements, he received an honorary doctorate (Dr. h. C.) From the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Königsberg in the 1880s . He was a supporter of Bismarck .
