In [\textit{O.~Hölder}, Über die Eigenshaft der Gammafunktion keiner algebraischen Differentialgleichung zu genügen, Math. Annal. 28, 1--13 (1886; JFM 18.0440.02)] it was shown that Euler's Gamma function is differential transcendental, id est \(\Gamma(z)\) satisfies no (non-trivial) algebraic ordinary differential equation with coefficients which are polynomials in \(z\). The author tries to extend Hölder's methods to the Riemann zeta function, which leads to the conjecture that \(\Gamma(z)\) and \(\zeta(z)\) are differential independent, which means that \(\Gamma(z)\) is not a solution of an algebraic differential equation with coefficients that are differential polynomials in \(\zeta(z)\). Although the author is not able to prove this, he shows the partial result that \(\Gamma(z)\) and \(\zeta(\sin 2\pi z)\) are differential independent.
