Life

Johannes Müller was the youngest son of the orientalist and university professor August Müller (1848-1892). After attending grammar school pre-school (1895–1898), Stadtgymnasium Halle (1898–1902) and the state school Pforta (1902–1908), he obtained his school-leaving certificate there at Easter 1908 . He then began studying at the University of Halle : While he was still studying mathematics , natural sciences and economics in the first semester , he then turned to political science in connection with geography and jurisprudence , especially under Johannes Conrad (1839-1915), Hellmuth Wolff (1875 –1961) and Hans Gehrig (1882–1968). On May 19, 1911, he received his doctorate there , and his dissertation was entitled “Outline of a History of the Theory of Production Factors”.

After the first state examination in law (1912), Müller initially worked as a trainee at the statistical office of the city of Halle, before working as a research assistant at the central office of the German Association of Cities . Due to the war , in 1915 he took over the management of the Jena Food Office and in 1916 a department head in the Thuringian Food Office. In 1921 Müller was entrusted , initially on a provisional basis, with the management of the Thuringian State Statistical Office in Weimar , which he chaired until his death, most recently as a senior government councilor . During his time in Weimar, Müller completed his habilitation in 1922 at the University of Jena, where he taught statistics as a private lecturer, from 1929 as a part-time associate professor and since 1940 as an adjunct professor.

At the beginning of 1946 Müller was arrested by the Soviet military administration without giving any reason and is alleged to have committed suicide while in custody. Müller was married to Walli Helene Maria Garchow since 1914, with whom he had two sons and two daughters.
