Kiesewalter, Dieter, 1934- : Born in Strehlen, Germany, Dietrich Kiesewalter emigrated to Canada with his wife, Linda, in 1958. Starting out as a busboy at the Beacon Arms Hotel in Ottawa, he soon worked his way up to become manager of a hotel in Winnipeg. He left Winnipeg and bought a Chicken Delight franchise for the Ottawa area. In addition, he and his wife started a number of other businesses, including a restaurant. These businesses were eventually sold, with Dieter Kiesewalter continuing his interest in business through his work as media consultant. In the meantime, he expanded into other fields. Having had a keen interest in music since his early years, he joined the male choir "Concordia," in 1958, which he first served as pianist and then as director. In 1970, he enrolled at Carleton University, pursuing studies in music and German literature. In 1981, he gave up his position with "Concordia," to found the Johannes-Brahms choir. He became extensively involved in Ottawa's "Festival of the Arts," taking a leading role in the organization of many of its activities. In the German Canadian community, Dieter Kiesewalter, taught at the German languague school. He wrote plays and musicals, which were performed in the local German Canadian community, as well as published a book on Germans in Ottawa, entitled "Kanada - Gelobtes Land?" For three years, he served as editor of the Ottawa Herold, a local Geman-language newspaper that was brought out by the Association of German-language Organizations of Ottawa, of which Kiesewalter for many years served as president. For two years, he presented the German-language television program "Der Spiegel," which died after he left the program because no one could be found to continue the work. His interest in German Canadian affairs also caused him to take the initiative to found the German Canadian Congress once the Trans-Canada Alliance of German Canadians had lost most of its support among Canadians of German descent.
