During World War I, Muller supported the policy of the class world, but at a meeting in Paris in August 1914, as a representative of the SPD, he tried to convince the French and German Social Democrats to abstain from voting on military loans. In January 1919, together with Otto Wels, he became co-chairman of the party. Müller was a member of the Reichsbanner , an organization that brought together representatives of the SPD, the centrists and the PDP in defense of the republic.

German Müller managed to create a “big coalition”, for the last time in the history of the Weimar Republic. However, this alliance, which included representatives of the SPD , NDP , NNP , BNP and the Party of the Center , turned out to be fragile. The coalition was mired in cross-party budget disputes in the wake of the deepening economic crisis , as a result of which Müller's successor Heinrich Brüning chose not to rely on the parliamentary majority, but on extraordinary resolutions of President Hindenburg .
