Karlheinz Zöller was a German classical flautist born in 1928 who began his professional career in the mid-20th century and worked primarily within orchestral and solo repertoire of the Western classical tradition. His playing emphasised a lyrical tone and precise articulation, and his career—marked by orchestral principal posts and solo work—reflected mid-century developments in flute technique and repertoire, influencing performance practice in post-war Germany.
