Preysing was born at the castle of Kronwinkel, near Munich, to the nobles Kaspar von Preysing and his wife Hedwig von Walterskirchen. His brothers Albert and Joseph also became priests. Preysing attended a Landshut gymnasium before entering the University of Munich in 1898. After studying at the University of Würzburg from 1901 to 1902, he forfeited a diplomatic career for an ecclesiastical one. He then obtained his doctorate in theology in 1913 from the Theological Faculty of Innsbruck, which he had entered in 1908. Preysing was ordained to the priesthood on July 29, 1912.
