Playing career

In 2004, at the age of 18, Ziemer joined 1. FC Kaiserslautern from lower-league club TuS Neuhausen.^[2]

In August 2017, in a 3. Liga match against Preußen Münster with Hansa Rostock, Ziemer tore a cruciate ligament. He was released by Rostock when his contract ran out in summer 2018. In January 2019 he was still in physical rehab.^[2]

Coaching career

After an anterior cruciate ligament injury, Ziemer left Hansa in the summer 2018. He returned to football in November 2019, when he was hired as head coach of TSG Pfeddersheim's U15 team.^[3][4] Ziemer knew the club's sporting director, Dennis Dell, very well, which was the reason he joined the club.
