Walter Müller (born August 3, 1918 in Ilbesheim ; † January 28, 1988 there ) was a German politician ( SPD , from 1962 non-party).

Life

After graduating from primary school in Ilbesheim, Müller attended secondary school and agricultural school in Landau in the Palatinate . From 1934 he worked in his parents' wine-growing and agricultural business. From 1938 on he did Reich Labor Service and from 1939 to 1945 he took part in the Second World War as a soldier . After the end of the war he worked in agriculture again. In 1950 he took over his parents' business, which he subsequently ran as a winemaker, farmer and innkeeper.

Müller was a member of the Hitler Youth from 1933 to 1935 and a member of the motorized SS in Landau from 1936 to 1938 . Because of these memberships, he was denazified after 1945 and on September 29, 1948, by judgment of the Neustadt an der Weinstrasse judging chamber, classified as a “fellow traveler”. The verdict was initially rejected by the governor of the Palatinate, but was confirmed again on June 20, 1949 by SK Neustadt.

From 1952 Müller was a member of the Ilbesheim municipal council. In 1954 he joined the SPD. In the state elections in 1955 and 1959 he was elected as a member of the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament.

Together with the SPD member of the state parliament, Franz Bögler , he took part in a meeting in 1962 to establish an Independent Social Democratic Party (USPD) in the Palatinate. He was then expelled from the SPD at the end of February / beginning of March 1962 for behavior that was harmful to the party, but remained a non-attached member of the state parliament until the end of the fourth legislative period in 1963 . In Parliament he was from 1955 to 1959 a member of the Agricultural Policy Committee and from 1955 to 1963 a member of the Viticulture and Wine Industry Committee.
