Rudolf Mueller (politician, 1904)
Rudolf Mueller (born January 18, 1904 in Darmstadt , † March 20, 1997 in Schleching ) was a German politician.
Life
He was the son of Darmstadt's Lord Mayor Rudolf Mueller and was able to spend three years as an exchange student in Amherst (Mass.) From 1926 onwards . He married an American. From 1940 until the end of the war he was one of the managing directors of Röhm & Haas in Darmstadt. When the state of Hesse (initially under the provisional name Greater Hesse ) was founded in 1945 , the American occupying power decided to set up the government itself until the first elections. They appointed the non-party Mueller as Minister of State for Economics and Transport . At the same time, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) was formed , which was the Hessian forerunner of the FDP . The fact that Mueller played a key role in building it up may also have been the reason for his appointment as minister, as the Americans took care to unite as many political currents as possible in the cabinet . On October 1, 1946, he had to hand over his office to Werner Hilpert .
Mueller wanted to remain independent, not join any party and settled as a lawyer in Frankfurt am Main. He was one of the initiators of a group called "Büro für Wirtschaftskunde", from which the " Economic Political Society of 1947 " (Wipog) emerged, a non-profit association in which Mueller was first and Otto Klepper was second chairman. Both worked towards the creation of a newspaper with which the ideas of the Wipog - essentially the social market economy - could be made known. The project took on concrete forms when, on December 12, 1949, the Mainzer Zeitungsverlag and Wipog, represented by Rudolf Mueller, founded Verlags-GmbH in Frankfurt am Main to publish the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung .
Mueller was also involved in the establishment of the Bilderberg Conference from the German side.
Mueller is the founder of the law firm Mueller Weitzel Weisner , which was merged into Hengeler Mueller in 1990.
