Bernhard Gregory was born on 22 April [O.S. 10 April] 1879 in Reval, Governorate of Estonia, Russian Empire (now Tallinn, Estonia) as a son of advocate Ferdinand Oscar Gregory (born 1843 in Kolu Manor, Heinrichshof, now in Vaiatu village) and Alexandrine Emmi Gregory (born 1854 in Vändra). Bernhard studied at the Dome School of Reval from 1885 to 1893. In 1898 he moved to Munich to study chemistry and engineering, which he later continued in Berlin.
