Wilhelm Konrad Hermann Müller (27 May 1812, Holzminden - 4 January 1890, Göttingen) was a philologist of Germanic studies.
From 1830 he studied philology and theology at the University of Göttingen as a student of Karl Otfried Müller. In 1841 he started work as a lecturer of German language and literature at Göttingen, becoming an associate professor in January 1845.[1] From 1856 up until his death in 1890, he was a full professor of philology at Göttingen.[2]
With Georg Schambach, he was co-author of a book on Lower Saxon legends and fairy tales, titled "Niedersächsische Sagen und Märchen" (1855). With Friedrich Karl Theodor Zarncke, he was an editor of a four-part Middle High German dictionary ("Mittelhochdeutsches Wörterbuch", 1854–1866) that was initiated by Georg Friedrich Benecke.
