Peter Seeberg graduated from Haderslev Cathedral school in 1943 and pursued an education as an archaeologist. Together with his authorship he was a museum custodian in Viborg. Seeberg graduated with a [Magister Artium (The Artists Teacher)](/source/Master_of_Arts) in 1951 from [University of Copenhagen](/source/University_of_Copenhagen), with a concentration on [Friedrich Nietzsche](/source/Friedrich_Nietzsche). Seeberg's own life mirrored Nietzsche's life; they both had distant mothers and both their fathers died early. Seeberg's own father was also an author and was a missionary priest.
