Career
A native of the gritty Neukölln district of Berlin, Muchow was one of the Alter Kämpfer of the Nazi Party. He became leader of the Greater Berlin Gau 1 in 1925 and here he established the Muchow Plan, a cell-based structure for Nazi Party organisation on a local level which proved important in the growth of the party. Muchow"s organisational talents impressed Joseph Goebbels and in 1928 he was given charge of organisation for the entire city where his plan became the standard for party structure across Germany.
In fact Muchow"s structure was strongly influenced by the cell structure of the Communist Party.
He was later sent to the German Labour Front where he revamped that group"s organisation, setting up fourteen new units. He died in an accident in the Rhineland in September 1933 and was widely mourned by the Nazi hierarchy.
