Franz Xaver Scharwenka was born on 6 January 1850 in the small town of Samter, near the Polish city of Posen (Poznan) which was then part of East Prussia. Together with his older brother Philipp (1847–1917), he showed early musical talent and, with encouragement from his father, received his first music lessons.
