Erich Ziegler (born January 3, 1900 in Berlin, German Empire; died December 24, 1948 in The Hague, Netherlands) was a German musician, bandmaster and composer.
Ziegler had led a fairly unspectacular life as a Kapellmeister until 1933. Ostracized as a Jew in the Nazi state, the Berlin-born composer emigrated to the Netherlands, where he joined the émigré "Theater der Prominenten." During the German occupation in his new adopted country, Ziegler was arrested and deported to the transit camp Westerbork on December 2, 1942. There, from May 1943 alongside Willy Rosen, he participated as a pianist and composer in Max Ehrlich's camp programs, such as Humor und Melodie in 1943.
On April 12, 1945, Ziegler was liberated from Westerbork. He remained in the Netherlands and found employment as musical director at the Skala Theater, where he musically supervised various revues. In 1948, the Dutch remigrant Jaap Speyer gave him the opportunity to compose a film score for the production Ein Königreich für ein Haus. It became Erich Ziegler's last work. He died on Christmas Eve 1948 in The Hague.
