Aichholzgasse (Meidling) was named in 1894 after the industrialist Josef von Miller zu Aichholz (1797–1871). He ran difficult errands in the war against the French for Andreas Hofer in 1809. For this he also received the Silver Bravery Medal. He came to Vienna in 1811, where he initially worked in drugstores. In 1819 he founded the company Öhler & Miller with the chemist F. A. Öhler. In 1826 he bought the drugstore Grittner and in 1839 he was able to acquire one of the first domestic cane sugar refineries in Vienna. He built the first Austrian soda factory in Hruschau and finally owned companies in the leather industry, sheep wool, sugar and paper manufacturing in Moravia and Bohemia, and the iron industry in Carinthia with thousands of workers. During the revolution of 1848, he was a captain of the National Guard and a member of the Vienna Municipal Committee. In 1852 he became director of the Austrian National Bank.

Josef Miller was married to Belgian Marie Flore d’Heur and had 15 children. His son Vinzenz von Miller zu Aichholz (1827–1913) took over the father’s company, the youngest son Viktor von Miller zu Aichholz (1845–1910) was a chemist and industrialist, as well as an art collector and benefactor, the son Eugen von Miller zu Aichholz (1835–18) 1919) also industrialist and art collector. His son August von Miller zu Aichholz (1829–1899) wrote biography of his father’s life published in 1907 under the title “Esse quam videri” (To be rather than to seem).
