Dietmar B. Reimann
Dietmar B. Reimann (* 1947 ; † April 2, 2011 ) was a German private investigator, treasure hunter and author.
Reimann worked as a seaman and then became a pioneer officer in the National People's Army . In 1988 he was released early from military service at his own request, after eighteen years of service. Reimann held the rank of major at this time . Back in civil life, he worked as a site manager at the University of Leipzig and repaired the stables of laboratory animals . After the reunification he lost this job. On the advice of a friend, Reimann became a private detective. One day a former Stasi employee came to his detective agency and asked him for help in finding the Amber Room . Reimann now began to deal with this topic in more detail, turning particularly to the Stasi documents.
Over the years Reimann published several books about the whereabouts of the Amber Room, which he suspected as parts of the Hohenzollern treasure in the Poppenwald . He spent a total of more than ten years there searching. Although unsuccessful and his theories are controversial, his activities sparked an increased interest in the search for the Amber Room. He gave regular lectures on the subject.
After he had to undergo heart surgery in 2010 , Reimann gave up the active treasure hunt in February 2011. In early April 2011, he died of an inflammation of the heart muscle at the age of 64.
He lived in Großpösna .
