Born in Lyon, France, the son of a German doctor and lepidopterist, Gieseking first started playing the piano at the age of four, but without formal instruction. His family travelled frequently and he was privately schooled. From 1911 to early 1916 he studied at the conservatorium in Hanover. There his mentor was the director Karl Leimer, with whom he later co-authored a piano method. He made his first appearance in 1915, but was conscripted in 1916 and spent the remainder of World War I as a regimental bandsman. His first London piano recital took place in 1923, and as a result he acquired a reputation as an exceptional performer.
