DORTMUND, GERMANY - Looking for a famous person at one time - Obituary?

Question

RE DORTMUND GERMANY - FAMOUS PERSON MISSING?? : Do you have any knowledge of a baker, Mr. Dieter Matthies of Dortmund or Koln?

Is he still alive? If not, how did he die? Is there an Obituary?

If this is a question for the "missing persons" could you please advise their email addresses?

I am looking for a Deiter or Dieter Matthies who should be approximately 80 years old. I would like to contact him. He was said to be a baker who owned one or more kondetorei, that went bankrupt when a factory he owned could not be allowed to operate due to zoning bylaws on his property. It is alleged that his story was in the front page of the newspapers, as the "Poorest Person in Dortmund."

After that, it is alleged that he ran a pub that also closed down due to financial reasons.

If you do know of this man, could you please provide information?

Thank you in advance.
