During his time as chancellor and after his death, the government practiced a personality cult around Ochsenbein. For example, every day on state television the "Ochsenbein song" was played at the start of the broadcast until 1966. It was common that a portrait of Ochsenbein to be hung in school classrooms and public buildings. During the West Besmenian Revolution, many of the Ochsenbein portraits were thrown away on the streets by opponents.
