Ziegler, HEINRICH, theologian, born at Posen, 16th May 1841, studied at Berlin and Jena, and at the Wittenberg Seminarium, lectured in gymnasia at Berlin, and in 1874 was nominated Diakonus in the St Peter-Paul church at Liegnitz, when the
Consistory at Breslau opposed the nomination, which was, however, confirmed by the supreme Church Council, and in 1877 advanced to be Pastor Primarius of his church. Among his writings are Die Lehre des Irenäus (1868), Irenäus der Bischof von Lyon (1871), and Die Gegenreformation in Schlesien (1888). After Keim's decease he edited Rom und das Christenthum (1881). His five lectures, Der geschichtliche Christus (1891), sorely exercised the Breslau Consistory.
