Kleist was born in the Pomeranian town of Falkenburg as the son of the town's mayor of the same name and attended grammar school in Belgard (today: Białogard ), where his father also assumed this position from 1872 to 1884.

From 1894 to 1903 he worked, among other things, as director of higher private schools in Lilienthal , Norderney and Templin . In 1905 he passed the exam as a senior teacher and, after his seminar year at the Francke Foundations in Halle, worked in this role from 1907 at the municipal high school in Waldenburg in Silesia (today: Wałbrzych ) and from 1910 in Hanover , Lower Saxony . Around 1917 he lived on the North Sea island of Norderney.
