Wilhelm Müller (politician, February 1890)
Wilhelm Müller (born February 19, 1890 in Alsenborn , † September 28, 1957 in Kaiserslautern ) was a German politician (KPD).
Live and act
Müller attended elementary school . He then completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter.
From 1914 to 1918 Müller took part in the First World War, in which he was awarded the Golden Medal of Bravery. After the war, Müller lived as a carpenter in Kaiserslautern. In 1919 he became a member of the USPD . He then moved to the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), in which he belonged to the left wing. For this he initially acted as a functionary in Kaiserslautern. He also took part in the fight against separatists. At the Leipzig party congress in January 1923, Müller was elected as a candidate for the ZA. The French military government sentenced him to three years in prison in 1923 and expelled him from the Palatinate in 1924.
After the Reichstag election of May 1924 , Müller was able to move into the Reichstag as a member of his party on a Reich election proposal, to which he belonged until December of the same year.
He was married since 1926. Despite his KPD membership, he was not arrested in the Third Reich because he had a gold medal for bravery and was no longer prominent in the years immediately before 1933. In 1940 he received a warning because he had listened to foreign radio stations. Allegedly, Müller is said to have applied for membership in the NSDAP in 1941 , but this was rejected by the NSDAP district court. His arrest followed in August 1944, but it did not last long.
After the Second World War , Müller became a member of the KPD again. In 1945 he became a member of the city council of Kaiserslautern. Because of a lack of loyalty to the line, he lost his earlier influence within the KPD. After leaving the city council in 1948, Müller no longer emerged politically.
