Born in Wœrth (Alsace), Wintzweiller was the son of Louis Wintzweiller, a teacher in his native town, and Madeleine Hirsch.[1] He first studied with Joseph Wackenthaler, then organist (1833–1869) at Strasbourg Cathedral, who sent him to the École Niedermeyer in Paris, a school of classical and religious music, which then trained church organists, choir conductors and kapellmeisters. A scholar of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Strasbourg, he studied there at the same time as Gabriel Fauré. He obtained his first piano runner-up in 1861,[2] a second prize for piano[3] and an honorable mention for the organ in 1862.[4]
He obtained a Second First Grand Prix de Rome in musical composition on 4 August 1868,[7] shared with Alfred Pelletier-Rabuteau. He began his stay at the Villa Medici in Rome in January 1869 and ended it in June 1870.[8]
