Life

Eduard Diehl was born in Saarbrücken in 1917. He studied medicine and became a specialist in surgery. After stays in Madagascar and Saudi Arabia , he was recruited in 1961 by the French who were looking for doctors for Sumatra and settled in Dolok Merangir. He later went into business there in Pematang Siantar and ran a private clinic there until his death in 2003.

Diehl was married to an Indonesian and had two children.

Ernst Jünger , who once visited him in Sumatra, reported that in 1988 a hired murderer broke into Diehl's house but was overwhelmed. The caddis fly Himalopsyche diehli was named after Diehl in 1971 by the discoverer Hans Malicky . His important insect collection is now in the University of Saarbrücken .
