Tiedemann Giese (1 June 1480 – 23 October 1550, Heilsberg (Lidzbark)) was a member of the patrician Giese family of Danzig (Gdańsk). The brother of the Hanseatic League merchant Georg Giese and relative of Albrecht Giese he became Bishop of Culm (Chełmno) and finally Bishop of Warmia (Ermeland).
At age 24, Giese (and Mauritius Ferber) became a priest at the Catholic Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, decades before Danzig and the church became Protestant when the Ordenstaat of the Teutonic Knights was transformed into the Duchy of Prussia in 1525. Giese was supported by Chancellor Lucas David.
Bishop Giese was a close friend of a the famous astronomer and proponent of heliocentrism Nicolaus Copernicus. In 1516, he was the co-author, together with Copernicus, of a letter to the Polish King Sigismund I the Old asking for the King's protection of Prussia against the Teutonic Knights and generally supported the interests of the Polish crown against that of the Teutonic Order. On July 1, 1536, he was designated by King Sigismund, who considered him a very valuable diplomat, as Bishop of Culm, which was later confirmed by the Pope.
The Giese and the Koppernigk family were related. Copernicus willed his writings to Giese and left his library to the church administration of Warmia.
He carried out active correspondence with Erasmus of Rotterdam and Philipp Melanchthon. Among his known publications is Centrum et decem assertionum, quas autor earum Flosculos appelavit de homine interiore et exteriore, a polemic with the proponent of Luther, Johann Briesmann. Most of his other works have been lost (including a work on Aristotle and one called De Regno Christi).
