The son of a veterinarian, Schliepe studied music in Königsberg, Bonn, and Berlin. From 1921 he was engaged as a music critic for various publications in Berlin. He joined the NSDAP in 1932 and was active in cultural campaigns, notably the boycotting of Paul Hindemith.[2] After the war, his works were prohibited from public performance.[2]
