Elias Oechsler (né Johann Elias; 19 March 1850, Spielberg – 15 September 1917, Erlangen) was a German music pedagogue,[1] music director, and composer.
He initially became a music instructor at the University of Bamberg, then afterwards moved his academic career to the University of Erlangen, becoming the successor of Johann Georg Herzog[2] after his predecessor's departure to Munich. Oechsler was close to the Protestant theologian, Friedrich Spitta.[3] [4]
