Philipp Rypinski was a son of the butcher David Rypinski and his wife Therese, geb. Collin.

According to the historian Roland Flade, the Rypinski couple came from Russia.

Philipp Rypinski received violin and piano lessons at the age of five. When he was twelve years old, the family moved to Nuremberg . There he attended middle school before going to music school. A scholarship enabled him to study at the Würzburg Conservatory for Music, which he graduated as Kapellmeister. He first led choirs in Würzburg and Karlsruhe , then he became Kapellmeister at the State Theater in Würzburg. In 1913 he married the harpist, singer and music teacher Elsa Buchbinder; In 1914 the first daughter Traude was born in Würzburg, in 1921 the second daughter Ingeborg was born in Heilbronn .

During or shortly after the First World War , Rypinski moved to the Heilbronn City Theater; in the opera house on Heilbronner Allee he had particular success with operettas such as the bat , the circus princess and the beggar student , but also with Verdi operas and Georges Bizet's Carmen .

Rypinski also composed himself. Among other things, he wrote a work for choir and orchestra entitled Drei Wanderer , the balladesque Galan Tod (around 1910) for violin, baritone and piano, the opera Die Brautnacht (1920), the symphonic work Lieder der Nacht , a Spanish dance and Life a dream for soprano, tenor, choir and large orchestra.
