Seidel was born in Schweinheim, now part of Aschaffenburg, one of seven children; his parents were Johann and Christine Seidel.

He was originally baptized under the name Franz Wendelin but was soon called simply Hanns.

His father died when he was seven and the family had to live in relative poverty from then on.
