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 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. Other noted works associated with Müller include:
