Friedrich Ackermann was born on 25 December 1866 in Bądle, a village then in the Province of Prussia, Kingdom of Prussia, and now located within the Warmian–Masurian Voivodeship, Poland. He came from a family of civil servants from Mecklenburg, and was related via marriage to the merchant families in Gdańsk. His father was Friedrich Ackermann, an estate owner, and his mother was Johanna Ackermann (née Steffens).[1]
He was taught by private tutors, and later attended upper classes a gymnasium in Jelenia Góra, from which he graduated in 1885. At first he studied natural science in Zürich, Switzerland, and from 1886, he studied law in Munich, Leipzig, and Göttingen, and graduated with a doctorate in jurisprudence.[1]
After graduation, he did a military service for a year, and became judicial trainee in 1890, and a judicial assessor in West Prussia in 1885.
