Andreae was the son of the businessman Johann Carl Andreae (1789–1843) and Maria Sofia geb. Bansa (1798-1854). The family originally came from Strasbourg and had been based in Frankfurt since 1653. A direct relationship to the Württemberg theologians Jacob Andreae and Johann Valentin Andreae , as assumed by Andreae, cannot be proven.

In later years he concentrated more on his theological and linguistic studies. In 1869 the University of Marburg awarded him the degree of theological licentiate .
