Gustav Deiters

Gustav Maria Deiters (born September 4, 1874 in Ibbenbüren , † May 2, 1959 in Lengerich ) was a German entrepreneur .

Gustav Deiters was born on September 4, 1874 as the older of the two sons of the starch manufacturer Josef Deiters and his second wife Luise Sunder (1835–1909, widowed Reismann) in Ibbenbüren. His younger brother was called Hugo (1877-1951) and he was a half-brother of Theodor Reismann-Grone . Gustav and Luise Deiters' marriage remained childless; they adopted Karola-Luise Bellingrodt (1914-2000) as heir.

After completing his military service, Deiters began commercial training. From 1909 he was together with his brother Hugo managing partner of the company Crespel & Deiters , wheat starch factories , in Ibbenbüren. Between 1914 and 1923, during his service at the front in World War I , the brothers' wives took over the management. In 1924, together with his brother, he opened the woven goods wholesaler Deiters & Co , in which both were equally involved and which was dissolved again in 1967.

After the Second World War, Deiters was President of the Münster Chamber of Commerce and Industry from 1945 to 1950 , which appointed him Honorary President after his departure. In 1946 he was also one of the 14 founding members of the Association of the German Starch Industry and was the first chairman of the association. In addition, he was a member of various supervisory boards.

In 1953 he received the Great Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 1958, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the wheat starch factory, Deiters was made an honorary citizen of the city of Ibbenbüren. Gustav-Deiters-Straße in Ibbenbüren is named after him.
