His father died of injuries sustained in the Battle of Sievershausen in 1553. As a result, Otto came into possession of the two manors Finsterwalde and Glesien at an early stage . He had to share the latter property with his brother Hans, but later bought it from him. On the castle Finsterwalde he made a number of conversions and extensions. When he died, he left behind the three underage sons Otto, Rudolph and Dietrich von Dieskau.
