Born into a Bavarian aristocratic family in 1905, he studied law and served as a judge during the politically volatile Weimar Republic and early Nazi era.

Berthold died in 1944, the same year as the failed assassination attempt, and is remembered for his commitment to law during turbulent times. He is recognized for upholding judicial principles under an authoritarian regime.
