Life

Wolfgang Müller began his stage career in 1945 at the Salzburg State Theater and then went to Vienna , where he already appeared as a cabaret artist. In 1947 he came to Berlin and was a member of the comedians' cabaret there for two years . In Berlin he also acted at the cabaret Mausefalle and Rauchfang as well as his own cabaret Greifi .

In 1949 he met Wolfgang Neuss . They founded the duo Die Zwei Wolfgangs and became one of the most famous German cabaret artists of the 1950s. Together they were on the road as a cabaret partner and particularly caricatured the CDU policy of the Adenauer era.

The two appeared as a comedian duo singing repeatedly ( slap in Shakespeare or Oh, that could be nice ... ) in feature films, including Das Wirtshaus im Spessart , Wir Wunderkinder and Rosen for the Public Prosecutor . Like Neuss, Müller showed no hesitation in appearing as a solo actor in strips that were later derided as "Papa's cinema".

In 1960 Wolfgang Müller died as a student pilot in a plane crash in Switzerland. His grave is in the forest cemetery in Zehlendorf (grave site Dept. II-U-112). His film and cabaret partner Wolfgang Neuss was buried next to him in 1989 .

After his death, Friedrich Luft honored Müller as a “rare clown nature”. He was "a brilliant technician of the comic", who "was active with his differentiated 'little head' even in complicated spheres" and "since then has been bitterly missing the more educated among the friends of cleverly articulated fun".
