Hein Müller
German boxer (1903-1945)
Hein Müller (6 December 1903 – 29 April 1945) was a German boxer, who was a champion of Europe as both an amateur and a professional. He won German amateur titles at three weights, was European amateur champion at light heavyweight, and as a professional won the German and European heavyweight titles.
Career
Born in Cologne, Müller first had success as an amateur. He won a bronze medal at the 1925 European Championships in Stockholm in the welterweight division, and in 1927 in Berlin, he won gold at light heavyweight. He won the German national championship three times, in 1925 at welterweight, in 1926 at middleweight, and in 1927 at light heavyweight.
In 1927, Müller turned professional, making his pro debut at light heavyweight in April that year. He was unbeaten in close to twenty fights by the end of 1928, including wins over former Scandinavian middleweight champion Martin Tancred, future French champion Abel Argote, former German (VDF) heavyweight champion Hans Breitenstraeter, the only fight he failed to win during this period a controversial draw with future British champion Harry Crossley which resulted in the referee being suspended by the German authorities and Crossley instructed to omit the fight from his record.
In February 1929 he beat Hein Heeser on points over 15 rounds to take the VDF German light heavyweight title. He followed this two months later with a points win over Gipsy Daniels. In June 1929 he challenged for Michele Bonaglia's IBU European light heavyweight title in Turin, the Italian stopping him in the fourth round.

Why this record matters
“Hein Müller” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Hein, Müller and German provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q98210. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1903, 1945, 1925 and 1927.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
