Karl Waldemar Ziegler (November 26, 1898 – August 12 1973) was a German chemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1963, with Giulio Natta, for work on high polymers. Already in 1960 he received the Werner-von-Siemens-Ring together with Otto Bayer and Walter Reppe for expanding the scientific knowledge on and for the technical development of new synthetic high-molecular materials.
Ziegler was born in Helsa near Kassel, Germany and educated at the University of Marburg. In 1943 Ziegler became Honorary Professor at the Aachen University of Technology and director of the Max Planck Institute für Kohlenforschung.
In the 26 years at the Max Planck Institute für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim/Ruhr from 1943 until 1969 he did most of the work on the Ziegler-Natta catalyst.
Ziegler died in Mülheim, Germany.
