Life

Johann Michael Müller studied mathematics at the University of Göttingen from 1740 to 1744.

In 1750, Müller was appointed overseer for the buildings in the area of ​​the former Principality of Göttingen . In the following year he was given permission to hold lectures at Göttingen University . From 1753, Müller taught as a master's degree in civil and military architecture, field measurement and pure and applied mathematics . Until his death at the age of 54, Müller also read on building theory , agricultural art , urban architecture , mechanical engineering and architectural drawing .

As a result of the experience gained in the Seven Years' War , parts of the city ​​fortifications of Göttingen were to be demolished. For this purpose, building commissioner Müller and Göttingen's chief commissioner Johann Friedrich Unger received the order, together with Lieutenant Schrick, who was appointed by the electoral war chancellery from Hanover to plan the dismantling work , to consider whether the Göttingen Wall should be preserved in its previous height or at least partially removed should. A short time later, however, the war chancellery announced that it would carry out the demolitions on its own, although the work on this had already started.
