Piefke was born in Schwerin an der Warthe, Prussia (now Skwierzyna, Poland). In the 1850s, he was band leader for the 8th Infantry Regiment in Berlin. His famous marches include ''Preußens Gloria'', ''Düppeler Schanzen-Marsch'' and the ''Königgrätzer Marsch'' – the latter composed after the Battle of Königgrätz in 1866, the decisive battle of the Austro-Prussian War). He arranged Franz Liszt's symphonic poem – ''Tasso'' for military band and may also have similarly arranged some of Liszt's marches. He died in Frankfurt an der Oder.
Piefke also wrote: * ''Pochhammer Marsch'' * ''Siegesmarsch'' * ''Gitana Marsch'' * ''Margarethen Marsch'' * ''Kaiser-Wilhelm-Siegesmarsch'' * ''Der Alsenströmer'', a march commemorating the Battle of Als during the Second Schleswig War. * ''Der Lymfjordströmer'', another march commemorating the Danish War.
