In 1946 he married Annelise Paetzhold, divorced Faupel.

After the war he set up his private "Institute for Scientific Order Studies" in Berlin and was its director from 1962 until his death. Together with Ottfried Neubecker , he wrote the order lexicon on behalf of the International Society for Scientific Order Studies, which became known as the standard work "Klietmann-Neubecker". Klietmann was a member of the Herold Berlin Association and the Heraldic-Genealogical Society "Adler" Vienna.

As a guest of the "War History" section of the SS Veterans Organization, Klietmann gave a lecture at the 11th Federal Conference of the HIAG in 1964 about the status of the indexing and transmission of SS files. He advocated the participation of SS veterans in the history of the Waffen-SS : “It is up to them to erect a monument [like Homer's ' Iliad and Odyssey ' or Caesar's ' De bello Gallico '] for their troops. ” According to historian Martin Cüppers, Klietmann's documentation Die Waffen-SS , published in 1965 by the publishing house of the HIAG magazine“ Der Freiwillige ”, lacks any criticism of the Waffen-SS and the actions of the individual SS units.
