Wolfgang Zeller

Wolfgang Zeller (12 September 1893 – 11 January 1967) was a German composer noted for his complex film music.

Born in Biesenrode (now part of Mansfeld), Province of Saxony, Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, Zeller was the son of a vicar.

After graduating from high school in Potsdam, Zeller continued studies with violinist Felix Berger in Munich, and with composer Jean Paul Ertel, in Berlin.

His film music career was launched with the orchestral score he composed for The Adventures of Prince Achmed.

During the Third Reich, Zeller wrote music for propaganda films such as Jud Süß (1940) directed by Veit Harlan.
