Philipp Rösler was born in Khanh Hung, Ba Xuyen Province, in the former South Vietnam (now Soc Trang Province, Vietnam).[1][2] He was adopted from a Roman Catholic orphanage near Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City)[3] by a German couple that already had two biological children and then Rösler was brought to Germany at the age of nine months.[2] He grew up in Hamburg, Bückeburg and Hanover, where he graduated from high school in 1992. After training to become a combat medic in the German Bundeswehr (the Federal Defense Force), Rösler was exempted to study medicine at the Hannover Medical School. Following this, he continued his education at the Bundeswehr hospital in Hamburg. He received his Ph.D. degree in 2002 and left service as a Stabsarzt (a rank for German medical officers equivalent to an army captain)[4] in 2003.[5]
He is a Roman Catholic, and a member of the General Conference of the Central Committee of German Catholics. He has been married to Wiebke Rösler, also a physician, since 2003. The couple have twin girls, Grietje and Gesche, born in 2008.
