from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Fritz Diekmann (born June 15, 1897 in Diekmannshausen near Varel , † August 7, 1970 in Oldenburg (Oldb) ) was a German surveyor and senior government councilor .

Live and act

Diekmann was the son of the wood merchant and sawmill owner Heinrich Johann Diekmann (* August 24, 1863, † September 2, 1927) and his wife Wilhelmine nee. Hadeler. He was born in Diekmannshausen, a village that his ancestors founded and that therefore bears his family name. He attended secondary school in Wilhelmshaven and studied surveying and regional cultural engineering at the Technical University in Munich from 1919 to 1922 . In 1927 the Oldenburg state examination for the higher surveying and state cultural service followed. During the preparatory service he was employed at the Friesoythe land registry office, then at the land surveying department in Oldenburg, where he took over the coupling department in 1934 . In 1941 he became head of this authority, but was no longer active because he was called up for military service . During the Second World War Diekmann fell into British captivity , from which he was released in 1948. Then he took over the management of the authorities as planned. After the cessation of surveying in 1948, he was head of the department for surveying and cadastral affairs and head of the land consolidation authority for the administrative president in Oldenburg until his retirement in 1962 .

Inspired by his predecessor Adolf Schmeyers , Diekmann also devoted himself to domestic tasks with particular devotion. From 1956 to 1966 he was chairman, later honorary chairman, of the Oldenburg State Association for History, Natural History and Local History , then until his death he was an executive board member of the Oldenburg Foundation. He was the author of numerous papers of a technical and local history and an avid collaborator in the Frisian Klootschießerverband , of which he became an honorary member. He was also on the board of the Mellumrat , the Marschenrat and the Museum Foundation Cloppenburg. Diekmann campaigned for sustainable nature conservation, for the promotion of the Low German language and, as deputy chairman of the Lower Saxony Heimatbund, for Oldenburg concerns.
