Life

Müller studied economics for six semesters. He then did an internship at banks and cooperatives as a businessman. From 1912 he worked for various companies in the clay, cloth and metal industries. He was politically active as a member of the NSDAP . In 1933 he took over the post of President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Dessau.

In 1933 he was appointed by the Reich Aviation Ministry as a representative for the Junkers factories . On October 12, 1933, Hugo Junkers was informed in Dessau in the presence of Müller that Müller should temporarily manage the plants as a member of the board. For this purpose he also took on the role of managing director of the Junkers engine factory in Dessau. The National Socialists spread the message that Müller should "reorganize" the factories. In reality it was a disempowerment and expropriation, since Junkers had to cede 51 percent of his factory shares.

Müller remained on the board of Junkers until 1934, then from 1935 to 1936 he was chairman of the supervisory board of AGD-Flugzeugwerke GmbH in Oschersleben .
