Life

Diestel, son of a superintendent , had studied law at the Albertus University in Königsberg since 1801 . From 1809 to 1812 he worked as a private tutor. He then studied Protestant theology . In 1814 he became a pastor in Borchersdorf . In 1818 he came to the Königsberg Division School as a military chaplain and teacher. In 1828 he became pastor at Haberberg (Königsberg) .

With Johann Wilhelm Ebel , Diestel was a follower of the teachings of the theosophist Johann Heinrich Schönherr . Some pamphlets that Diestel had published against the Königsberg theology professor Hermann Olshausen in particular were the cause of the Königsberg religious controversy and the so-called 'mucking trial', which ended with Diestel and Ebel being dismissed for breach of duty.
