He started cycling with SG Probstheida , later he started for BSG Erich Zeigner Leipzig. As an amateur, he was able to place second at the GDR championships in the 1000 meter time trial in 1949.

In 1951 he was able to win third place at the German championship in the Federal Republic of Germany (winner Georg Voggenreiter ). On February 15, 1955, the GDR cycling federation published a decision of its executive committee, according to which all active professional drivers and pacemakers were asked to immediately become “members of the democratic sports movement” and to join a company sports community (BSG). All athletes who would take advantage of this opportunity would be exempt from the usual two-year waiting period and would immediately be eligible to start with the amateurs. The resolution was of an ultimate nature and ended with a deadline of February 28, 1955.

In March 1955 Müller had himself reamateurised together with Rudolf Voigt and Wilfried Mauf and joined the BSG Rotation Leipzig East .
