Max Siebert was born as the son of the Bavarian forester Friedrich Siebert, attended grammar school and entered the Bavarian civil service after completing his studies and the subsequent legal clerkship . In 1856 he started as an assistant at the Munich II building inspection. During this time he worked on the construction of the St. Jakob Church in Vötting and on the conversion of the old Freising Cathedral Dechantei into a teachers' seminar (now Domberg 20, district court).

In 1858 Siebert moved to the Palatinate district building authority in Speyer . In 1860 he took a leave of absence from the civil service and became head of the building sector for the city of Speyer as a city building officer. During this time he built the ship bridge , the hospital and the secondary school there.
