He was baptized three days after the birth, in the St. Mary's Church in Hanau. His godparents were Konrad Brelle, abbot of Selbold Abbey, Wenceslaus of Cleves and Meze of Gemmingen, the widow of Eber-hard Waißen.
His older brother, Johann, died young, so that Philipp succeeded his father as Count of Hanau-Babenhausen.
