     Georg von Müller    





Georg Alexander von Müller 
(1854 - 1940)
place of birth:  Chemnitz, Sachsen  (Saxony)


Admiral in the German Imperial Navy who served as the Chief of the Naval Cabinett from 1906 through the end of World War One. Georg was born in Saxony but grew up in Sweden where his father taught agricultural studies. He entered the German Navy at the age of 17. He later commanded a gunboat in East Asia, then became a staff officer under Prince Heinrich von Preußen.

As Kaiser Wilhelm II's Chief of the Naval Cabinet, von Müller dealt with both the technical issues of the office, as well as the political figures associated with the Kaiser's court and the Wilhelmine society. In his memoirs, von Müller later noted that he'd had several intense disagreements with the Kaiser during his tenure as Cabinet Chief.
