Diekmann studied law and political science at the universities of Marburg , Lausanne , Kiel , Luxembourg and Münster . He worked as an administrative lawyer in local government and became first alderman of the city of Oelde . From 1975 to 1980 he was district director of the Höxter district and from 1980 to 1987 senior district director of the Stade district.

Diekmann was arrested on June 14, 1999 on suspicion of breach of trust , fraud and tax evasion . The Bochum district court stated in November 1999 that Diekmann had received a total of 350,000 marks in bribes from the Bonn property developer Bertold Kaaf and that he had obtained orders in return. In addition, the amounts were not taxed. Diekmann committed suicide while in custody . There was no conviction due to his death, the allegations were therefore not cleared up under criminal law (§ 206a StPO).
