From Cowboy to Caretaker: Helmut Dyck’s Unconventional 23-Year Journey Ends

Helmut Dyck has retired after 23 years as caretaker at David-Roentgen-Schule. His career has been anything but ordinary, spanning roles from cowboy to heating engineer. Colleagues and officials gathered recently to celebrate his decades of service and dedication.

Dyck’s working life began far from the school corridors. Over the years, he took on jobs as a cowboy, carpenter, and tractor driver. He also worked in sales, poured concrete, and maintained heating systems. Before joining David-Roentgen-Schule, he served as a caretaker at Krankenhaus Bethel.

Retirement won’t slow Dyck down. He plans to keep volunteering with inmates while focusing on rose gardening and livestock breeding. After a career filled with diverse roles and deep community ties, his next chapter promises to be just as engaged and purposeful.
