At the age of four, he moved with his father to the city of Halle , where he studied at school.

Then he continued his education at the University of Halle , the Berlin Academy and the University of Berlin. Humboldt and graduated in 1881 at the Oberbergamt Halle . While studying in 1877, he became a member of the Sängerschaft Fridericiana (Halle) fraternity.
