Elisabeth Wintzer

Elisabeth Wintzer (16 June 1863 – 12 June 1933) was a German composer and writer.

Life
Wintzer born in Bad Suderode, Germany. She studied music with Carl Reinecke and Salomon Jadassohn in Leipzig, and married the artist Otto Gerlach.

Wintzer led a girls' Pathfinder group (an outdoor group similar to American Girl Scouts) in Munich.

She died in Bremen. After her death, Richard Wintzer (1866–1952; presumably a relative) copyrighted several songs composed by Elisabeth, which were musical settings of poems by Manfred Kyber. N. Simrock published Wintzer's music.
