Martin Grabmann attended the Humanist High School in Eichstätt and studied philosophy and theology at the Episcopal Lyceum from 1893–98. He was ordained a priest in 1898 and was pastor for two years in Kipfenberg , Allersberg and Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate . Grabmann then continued his studies in Rome at the Thomaskolleg der Dominicans , where he was supported by Franz Ehrle and Heinrich Denifle . He was promoted to Dr. phil. and in 1902 Dr. theol. PhD. In the autumn of 1906 Grabmann became an associate professor of dogmatics at the Episcopal Lyceum in Eichstätt and in 1913 a full professor of Christian philosophy at the theological faculty in Vienna . From 1918 until the theological faculty was closed in 1939, he taught dogmatics in Munich and moved to Eichstätt in May 1943. Grabmann became a member of the Third Order of the Dominicans in 1921 .

Grabmann conducted extensive source research on the history of philosophy and theology in the Middle Ages and wrote fundamental works on scholasticism . For example, his dictum that Anselm of Canterbury is the "father of scholasticism" is well known. In 1954, Michael Schmaus , Grabmann's successor, founded the Martin Grabmann Research Institute for Medieval Theology and Philosophy at the University of Munich.

In the cities of Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz and Eichstätt streets were named in honor of Grabmann.
