From 5 May 1991 to 11 May 1992, Diekmann was the oldest former Minister-President of Germany, preceded by Max Seydewitz. He is still the oldest Minister-President of the states of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), succeeded by Werner Bruschke of the GDR. If only minister-presidents of the FRG are counted, he was the oldest since 27 March 1990, preceded by Hans Ehard.
