Norbert Wagner was born in Straubing, Germany on 12 February 1929. After gaining his abitur in 1947, Wagner studied German philology under Ernst Schwarz, and also history and English, at the University of Regensburg. Wagner transferred to the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 1948, where he studied under Otto Basler and other scholars. Wagner received his Ph.D. in 1955 at the University of Würzburg under the supervision of Franz Rolf Schröder. His thesis was on the Völsunga saga.

After gaining his Ph.D., Wagner took courses in Indo-European studies and Indology under Manfred Mayrhofer, and worked as a research assistant in the Department for Ancient Germanic Studies. Wagner completed his habilitation at Würzburg in 1967 under the supervision of Kurt Ruh [de]. His thesis on Getica and the early history of the Goths was published in 1967.
