Biography

Möller's official Landtag portrait, 1932

Möller was born in Dortmund. He was a member of the Landtag of Prussia from 1928 to 1933. After the war, he served in the Landtag of Baden-Württemberg from 1946 to 5 October 1961, when he was elected to the Bundestag. His successor was Walther Wäldele. Möller stayed in the Bundestag up to 1976.

From 1969 to 1971, Möller served as Federal Minister of Finance in the Cabinet of Willy Brandt, resigning from the post after 2 years. According to one study, Möller’s resignation was prompted by a dramatic increase in spending early in Brandt’s term.[2]

Besides being active in the SPD, Möller was director general of and Chief Executive Officer of the Karlsruher Lebensversicherung AG. Hence, his nickname was Genosse Generaldirektor (roughly: Comrade director general), which he also used as a title of his memoirs (1978).

Möller is an honorary citizen of Karlsruhe, where he died.
