Reinhard Nieter
Reinhard Nieter (born October 16, 1883 in Brunne ; † June 8, 1964 in Wilhelmshaven ) was a German local politician of the SPD . He was Lord Mayor of the City of Wilhelmshaven from 1946–1952 and 1956–1961, with Senator and Mayor in between. His great social commitment to the population of the Jade City meant that a Wilhelmshaven hospital bore his name until 2014.
