During the Second World War , his parents fled from West Prussia to Föhren near Trier , where his father Albrecht Graf von Krockow (1913–2007) found a job as an estate manager.

After graduating from high school in 1969, Matthias Graf von Krockow studied business administration at the University of Cologne .

Graf Krockow began his professional career in 1976 at Chase Bank AG in Frankfurt. In 1979 he moved to the headquarters of Chase Manhattan Bank in New York and two years later to Citibank . At the family's request, he joined the Sal. Oppenheim bank in 1984 , where he was made a personally liable partner in 1986. After Karl Otto Pöhl's retirement due to old age , he succeeded him in 1998 as spokesman for the personally liable partners.
