The son of a shepherd, Adolf Kolping was raised in poverty in rural Germany. To help support his family, he left school at 13 to become an apprentice to a shoemaker, but he longed for higher education. After ten years of working as a shoemaker, he entered secondary school at age 23 and managed to complete his education in record time.
