Ziege began his playing career as a goalkeeper for local junior teams Sudstern 08, TSV Rudow and Hertha Zehlendorf. His performances at left back earned him a move to the professional ranks and a contract at Bundesliga side Bayern Munich for whom he signed in 1990. He played for second-string team and broke into the first team in the second half of the 1990-1991 season. He gained several under 21 caps and was a member of the German Olympic team before making his full international debut in June 1993 against Brazil. He missed the 1994 World Cup Finals with injury but he had considerable success while at Bayern Munich winning the championship in 1994 and 1997, and the UEFA Cup in 1996. He was a member of the successful German team at the 1996 European Championships but his career took a dive after an unsuccessful move to Italy to play for Inter Milan in 1997 as he found the defensive duties stifling his natural attacking instincts. He moved to Middlesbrough in 1999 and quickly established himself as one of the best left sided defenders in the Premiership. Liverpool signed him in controversial circumstances after the 2000 European championships but he failed to settle and moved to Tottenham Hotspur in July 2001 and has performed well this season. He is an excellent left back with a lethal finish.
Ziege came on as a late sub in the 2002 World Cup Final defeat by Brazil.
Ziege joined Borussia Moenchengladbach in July 2004.
