Joseph Müller (priest)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Müller (19 August 1894, Salmünster in Hessen - 11 September 1944, Brandenburg) was a German Catholic priest and critic of the Nazi regime.

After repeating a political joke he was arrested and sentenced to death by the People's Court in Berlin. He was executed in Brandenburg-Görden prison.

Each year on the anniversary of death, a bell is tolled at his former parish church in the village of Groß Düngen.
