Bassermann was born in Wolfach in the Grand Duchy of Baden. He studied German law at Heidelberg University and at Leipzig University.
In 1880 he became a lawyer in Mannheim.
From 1893 to 1917 he was member in German Reichstag.[1] From 1905 to 1912 he was chairman of the National Liberal Party.
On July 12, 1881, he married Julie Ladenburg (1860-1940), daughter of German banker Carl Ladenburg in Mannheim. For the protestant lawyer Ernst Bassermann, the marriage opened up the opportunity to network among Mannheim's most prosperous circles.[2] Three daughters and one son were born to the couple:[3] at least two of the children would predecease their mother.[4]
