Heinrich Gotthold Dietel (born March 15, 1839 in Greiz ; † June 24, 1911 in Sosnowitz , Russian Empire ) was an entrepreneur in the textile industry. His economic and social commitment contributed significantly to the urban development of Sosnowitz, which received city rights in 1902.

Life

Palais Dietel in Sosnowitz

Heinrich Gotthold Dietel was the son of Heinrich Gottlob Dietel, an entrepreneur from Zwickau , and his wife Johanne Wilhelmine Dietel nee. Merbold. Dietel studied at the Polytechnic School in Dresden and in the United States , where he got to know the technology of industrial wool production and sales. Together with his father and brothers he ran a factory in Wilkau in Saxony. He also worked in branches in the Austrian Bohemia and in Württemberg . On June 11, 1878, he married Clara Julie Jacob in Leipzig, with whom he had six sons: Heinrich Georg, Henryk, Borys, Alfred, Roman and Bogusław.

Dietel came in 1878 after Pogoń (now a district of Sosnowiec ), where he first worsted - spinning in the then Russian Poland managed and beyond throughout the Empire Russian built. After an expansion in 1890, it employed around 2000 people. Worsted yarn spinning drew engineers and workers, including some from the German Reich , to what was then the Russian village, for whose needs Dietel felt responsible. A factory, residential and garden complex was built close to the Warsaw-Vienna railway line.

Heinrich Gotthold Dietel died in Sosnowitz, where he was buried in a mausoleum in the Protestant cemetery.

Engagement in Sosnowitz / Sosnowiec

Dietel Mausoleum

Dietel is considered one of the greatest personalities in today's city of Sosnowiec, whose development is inextricably linked to his commitment. He was the initiator and sponsor of several church buildings across all religions, including (as a result of Protestant immigrants from Saxony and Thuringia) the Evangelical Church in Sosnowiec (1880). In 1886 he founded the Evangelical Church in Pogoń. In 1901 he participated in the construction of the Russian Orthodox Church of St. Nicolas, which was demolished in 1938 for political reasons. In 1894 he started the secondary school . He donated a magnificent building to her (1895/1898), which he furnished with teaching materials and whose teachers he initially paid.

Immediately next to the factory premises, he had a spacious villa built in the style of a neo-baroque castle with a landscaped park between 1890 and 1900 , which still bears his name today ( Pałac Dietla - German Palais Dietel - or Park Dietla w Sosnowcu ). Today the house is one of the valuable architectural monuments of that time in Poland. Around 1900 Dietel commissioned the garden architect Fritz Hanisch , who was closely related to the German garden city movement, to design a landscape park, the design (1901–1903) and maintenance of which was the responsibility of the landscape gardener Ernst Robert Pietsch, who was also appointed to Sosnowitz . The park, which was created with artificial ruins, caves, a lake, a rocky gorge and an ancient temple, was also open to the public. Its historicizing forms are largely destroyed today.
