Georg Waldemar Mueller (born June 28, 1851 in Lissa , Province of Posen , † December 30, 1924 in Berlin ) was a German politician and member of the board of directors of the bank.

Life

After studying law , Mueller became district administrator in Marienwerder in 1878 . In 1884 he was elected a member of the Reichstag , where he was represented as a member until 1891. From 1885 to 1890 he was mayor of the city of Poznan and representative of the city in the manor house .

In 1890 he became a member of the board of directors of the Reichsbank . In 1896 he resigned from this office to become a member of the board of the Dresdner Bank . In 1914 he moved from the bank's board of directors to its supervisory board .

Mueller's merit for Dresdner Bank lay in developing the booming Rhenish - Westphalian heavy industry , which previously had a difficult relationship with the Berlin banks. Conversely, he made a significant contribution to the financing of German coal mining , the electrification of Germany and the expansion of the iron and steel industry in the Rhineland and the Ruhr area .

After being reburied in 1939, his grave is in the south-west cemetery in Stahnsdorf .
