Hagaon Harav Akiva Hakohein Strasser, (circa 1860-1924), the son of Harav Yaakov Yehuda Leib Hakohein Strasser, son-in-law of the Ksav Sofer, was Av Beis Din of Takaj.
He studied under the tutelage of his revered grandfather the Ksav Sofer as well as by his uncle the Shevet Sofer, and married the daughter of Maharam Broide, Av Beis Din of Shusburg.
