Georg Friedrich Mantey von Dittmer was a son of (Michael) Friedrich Mantey (from 1789 imperial nobility as Edler von Dittmer , from 1800 imperial baron) and his second wife Catherina Margarethe, née Schaeffer. His first wife was a daughter of the banker Georg Friedrich von Dittmer .

Mantey von Dittmer studied with Peter von Winter and was appointed court conductor to the grand ducal court of Mecklenburg-Strelitz in Neustrelitz in 1823 . He was "a strikingly handsome figure, an excellent conductor and ... an excellent piano player" . As the years progressed, however, he became more and more addicted to alcohol and had to be forced into retirement in 1840.
