	Harald Riipalu was born in Saint Petersburg where his father August Reibach was the tenant of the country house with the name "Riipalu". When World War I began, their family moved to Estonia, Saare parish near Kääpa river. He had four sisters, Nelly, Marta, Vilma and Elma, who died at the age of four. At the start of [[World War I]], the family moved to Küti Farm on the Kääpa River in Saare Parish, Tartu Province. The agricultural land was 44 hectares, most of which was forest. In 1920, after the Estonian War of Independence, he attended a small local parish school. In 1926, he went to study in the [[German language]] Hugo-Treffner-Gymnasium (founded on 7 December 1883 by Hugo Hermann Fürchtegott Treffner) in Tartu (German: ''Dorpat''). He graduated in 1932 with Abitur, being among the best students in the school. From 1932 to 1933, Riipalu studied at the Faculty of Law of University of Tartu.
