Early life and education
Born in Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, he was the grandson of Karl Hugo von Weizsäcker, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Württemberg. His grandfather was ennobled in 1897 and raised to the hereditary nobility with the title of Baron (Freiherr) in 1916. As such, the four-year-old Carl Friedrich Weizsäcker became Baron Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker. Since 1919, noble titles have legally been considered parts of the family name.

Weizsäcker was raised in Stuttgart, Basel and Copenhagen. At age 17 he studied first with Erwin Schrödinger in Berlin, before becoming a student, companion and trusted assistant to Werner Heisenberg in Leipzig. Between 1929 and 1933 Weizsäcker also studied physics, mathematics and astronomy in Göttingen under Max Born and Niels Bohr in Copenhagen, among others. The supervisor of his doctoral thesis was Friedrich Hund.
