Born in Vienna, Austria Empire, Goldzier attended the public schools of Vienna and immigrated to the United States in 1866, where he settled in New York. He studied law and was admitted to the bar. He moved to Chicago in 1872 and was involved in several notable cases, including that of the anarchist John Hroneck. He was a director of the Chicago German Society as well as the director and secretary of the German-language newspaper the Abendpost. He served as member of the city council of Chicago as an alderman from the 22nd ward from 1890 to 1892.[2]
Goldzier was elected as a Democrat to the Fifty-third Congress (March 4, 1893 – March 3, 1895). He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1894 to the Fifty-fourth Congress and was again a member of the Chicago city council in 1899. He died in Chicago, January 20, 1925 on his 71st birthday. Interment location unknown.
