Hermann Müller (politician, born 1935)

Hermann Müller (17 October 1935 – 31 December 2013[1]) was a German politician (CDU), who served from 1978 to 2002 as mayor of Idstein.

During his four terms, he worked for restoration of the town's framework houses, creation of a pedestrian area, building of a hall as a cultural centre and construction of bypass roads.

Müller was on the board of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutsche Fachwerkstädte (Working group German Framework Towns)[2] and president of the Idsteiner Verkehrsverein which organises the annual open air Jazz festival.

[1] In the funeral service at St. Martin, Idstein, his successor Krum mentioned his Christian and democratic values, Landrat (county governour) Burkhard Albers [de] observed his ability to listening and to arguing factually without personal attacks.

Klaus-Peter Willsch stated for the CDU fraction that Müller achieved his goal: "eine Altstadt voller Leben" (an old town full of life).
