Wilhelm Diek
Wilhelm Diek (born January 2, 1846 in Holtum (Werl) , † January 25, 1926 in Nieheim ) was a Catholic clergyman.
Diek worked as a mission priest and took up a position in Groß Ottersleben in 1872 . He initiated a nationwide collection of money for the purpose of building a Catholic church in Ottersleben. The money was then used to purchase a suitable piece of land. Diek left Ottersleben in 1891. The actual construction of the Sankt-Maria-Hilf-Kirche then took place from 1893 under his successor Lorenz Wienand .
In his honor, the city of Magdeburg , to which Ottersleben belongs today, named a street in Ottersleben as Wilhelm-Diek-Straße .
