Roberthin was the son of a Lutheran pastor. In 1616 the Roberthin family moved to Königsberg. In 1617 Robert Roberthin started studying law at the University of Königsberg. The next year he continued his studies at Leipzig University and in 1620 at the Jean Sturm Gymnasium in Strasbourg, where he found lodgings with the linguist Matthias
