Alfred O. Fuerbringer

Alfred Ottomar Fuerbringer (August 11, 1903 – February 26, 1997) was an American Lutheran minister and college president.

He was one of several ministers in his family; his grandfather, Ottomar Fuerbringer, was one of the Saxon Lutherans who had built the log cabin seminary in Perry County, Missouri.

He retired from the presidency in 1969, but remained at Concordia as the director of continuing education.

[6] The selection of John Tietjen as his successor to the presidency was one of the precipitating events in the Seminex controversy that resulted in Fuerbringer and the majority of the faculty and student body leaving Concordia to establish Concordia Seminary in Exile (later named Christ Seminary-Seminex) in 1974.

[6] Fuerbringer also eventually left the LCMS and joined the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches.
