Salo Schottländer was a printer in Breslau (present day Wrocław, Poland). He was the son of an elite, land-owning Jewish family. His brother Julius became the only Jewish lord in Silesia. Salo served in the military during the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871). He learned the book trade in Leipzig, Stuttgart, and Paris.
