In 1900 Ochsenbein left Waldtket to live and study fine music in Helmfurt, financed by orphan's benefits and support from his older brother. He applied for admission to the Academy of Music Helmfurt but was rejected twice. The director suggested Ochsenbein should apply to the School of Architecture, but he lacked the necessary academic credentials because he had not finished secondary school.

During the Battle of the Könlenz in March 1918, he was wounded in the left thigh when a shell exploded in the dispatch runners' dugout. Ochsenbein spent almost two months in hospital at Hildberg, returning to his regiment on 21 May 1918. On 15 November 1919, he was temporarily blinded in a mustard gas attack and was hospitalised in Doltham for 4 months. While there, Hitler learned of Besmenien's defeat, and—by his own account—upon receiving this news, he suffered a second bout of blindness.
