Theodor Müller (* 3 April 1824 in Bremen, Germany; † 9 July 1869 in Lima, Peru) was an German merchant and diplomat.

Life

Theodor Müller was born on 3 of April, 1824 in Bremen, Germany, as the youngest child of a beer brewer Hartje Müller and Sabina Elisabeth Beling [1]. Müller visited Lima, Peru in 1848 as a merchant to look for opportunities. Having visited Lima, Müller sought consignments in Europe. Eventually in 1849, he joined with an Irish businessman, Russell Dartnell, to create a new firm, Dartnell Müller for trade. Later on he continued the German business by himself as Theodor Müller & Co. Müller was described as "the most tedious talker imaginable", by a German merchant and Consul General of Denmark, Heinrich Witt [ de] [2].

Müller served in Lima, Peru as the Consul of Hanover (1860-1866), Consul of Prussia (1861-1868) and as the Consul General of the North German Confederation (1868-1869). [3] On August 31st, 1867, Müller attended a party hosted by Mariano Ignacio Prado to celebrate his proclamation as President. On October 31, 1868, the King of Prussia promoted Müller formerly Prussian Consul, to Consul General of the North German Confederation for the Republic of Peru. [4]

Death

Müller died suddenly of apoplexy at his home in Lima, Peru, on July 9, 1869. After hearing of the death, Heinrich Witt [ de] went to see the Peruvian Minister of Foreign Affairs Jose Barrenechea [ es], whom refused to grant a military cortége to the funeral, because Müller was only Consul General and not Chargé.

On July 11, 1869 was his funeral. 90 men, six and six by turn, of The German Club, carried the coffin, covered with the flag of the North German Confederation. They carried the coffin from his house at Calle de Jesus Nazereno to the Callao railway-station in San Juan de Dios. Jose Barrenechea [ es] and Heinrich Witt [ de] were holding the black ribbons attached to the coffin. Müller was buried in the British Cemetery, Callao. His funeral was attended by many members of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps, like the Chargés for France, England, and Italy.
