Manfred Semper was born the second of six children to Gottfried Semper . A younger brother was the sculptor Emanuel Semper (1848–1911).

Semper studied from 1855 to 1859 with Gottfried Semper at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich . On November 11, 1855, he and nine other students founded the Corps Rhenania . From 1860 to 1861 he lived in Paris and in 1894 in Italy for a year , where he continued his education. On February 17, 1871, Semper took over the local construction management for the Second Court Theater (Semperoper) in Dresden, which was completed in 1878. In 1872 he added a picture gallery to the Villa Wiener Straße 11 and designed a tomb for his late father in the Protestant cemetery in Rome , which was inaugurated in 1883.

From 1882 he worked with Carl Philipp Krutisch (1851–1895), who was born in Hamburg, in 1884 at the Hiobs Hospital at Bürgerweide 25 and in 1891 on the new construction of the Natural History Museum at the beginning of what would later become Mönckebergstrasse (today the "Saturn property") . The museum was destroyed in 1943.

Manfred Semper was buried in the Ohlsdorf cemetery in Hamburg, grid square S 18 (south of Chapel 2).
