Hans Müller(-Einigen) (born 25 October 1882 inBrünn,Austria-Hungary; died 8 March 1950 inEinigen) was a German language writer, author ofscreenplays and director. As his proper name, Hans Müller, was quite common, he added the name of the Swiss village of Einigen to it.

He is known forThe White Horse Inn (Im weißen Rößl, 1930), written together withRobert Gilbert andErik Charell, set to music byRalph Benatzky. Earlier, he collaborated frequently with composerErich Wolfgang Korngold, writing the librettos forViolanta (1916) andDas Wunder der Heliane (1927), and having Korngold score the incidental music to hisDer Vampir oder Die Gejagten (1923).^[1]

Müller-Einigen went to Hollywood in the 1920s where several films were made from his scripts. Since 1930 he lived in Einigen.

His brother was the author and criticErnst Lothar (real name: Ernst Lothar Müller).
