Ludwig August von Müller (born August 19, 1846 , † March 24, 1895 ) was a Bavarian civil servant and minister of education (1890–1895).

Life

He was the son of Franz Seraph Müller (1801–1884), Bavarian councilor and director of the main mint and stamp office and his wife Adelheid Frech .

After graduating from the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich in 1865 , Müller studied law at the Ludwig Maximilian University on a scholarship from the Maximilianeum Foundation . In 1867 he became a member of the Corps Palatia Munich . In 1874 he was promoted to Dr. iur. PhD.

He then went on to become a civil servant, initially with the government of Upper Bavaria . He was later in the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior and became the personal secretary of Ludwig II. This was followed by the board of the statistical office in the Ministry of the Interior, where he was responsible, among other things, for the land consolidation and state election laws.

In 1886 he was the authorized representative of the government who carried out the arrest of Ludwig II, who had increased Bavaria's debts to 7 million marks through his construction activities. Due to the arrest, Müller became police director and later police chief .

From 1890 to 1895 he was Bavarian Minister of Education (Minister of State for Church and School Affairs) as the successor to Johann von Lutz . On July 23, 1891, Müller brought new school regulations for the higher education institutions on the way, which fundamentally reformed the higher schools. His successor Robert von Landmann built on the work of Müller in 1902 the School Supplies Act of July 28, 1902, which in turn significantly strengthened schools.

For his services, Müller was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Bavarian Crown . Associated with this was the elevation to the personal nobility and he was allowed to call himself Ritter von Müller after his entry in the nobility register . On February 15, 1891, he and his descendants were raised to the hereditary nobility with enrollment in the nobility register on March 23, 1891.
