Henry was born on April 29, 1846 in Hamburg, Germany, the son of Heinrich Friedrich Schradieck, and Elizabeth Catharina Johanna (Rutting) Schradieck.
Schradieck received his first violin lessons from his father, starting on his fourth birthday, and in his sixth year made his first public appearance, playing Beethoven's Sonata in F, Opus 17.
The distinguished violinist, Teresa Milanollo, heard him play when he was eight years of age, and arranged for his instruction at the Brussels Conservatory, where he studied with Hubert Leonard for four years, winning the second prize in 1857, and the first in 1858. He then studied for two years with Ferdinand David at Leipzig.
In 1863 Schradieck became concert-master of the Bremen Orchestra and violin soloist at Reinthaler's Privatkonzerte. He taught violin at the Moscow Conservatory from 1864 to 1868, and lived during this period at Nicholas Rubinstein's home, being closely associated also with Anton Rubinstein, and with Tschaikowsky.
He was concertmaster of the philharmonic concerts at Hamburg for the following four years and then went to Leipzig, where he became concert-master of the Gewandhaus orchestra, leader of the violins at the opera, and professor of violin at the Conservatory succeeding David.
The Leipzig years were the most brilliant of Schradieck's career. He was associated with Edvard Grieg, Pablo Sarasate, Joseph Joachim, Carl Reinecke, Salomon Jadassohn, E. F. Richter, Leopold Auer, and Joseph and Henri Wieniawski, just as he had enjoyed frequent contacts with Brahms in Hamburg. In 1883 he accepted an invitation to become teacher of violin at the Cincinnati College of Music, Cincinnati, Ohio, where he stayed for six years. He also conducted the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra during the seasons of 1886-87 and 1887-88.
From 1894 to 1898 he was the principal violin teacher at the National Conservatory of Music in New York. From 1899 he taught at the Combs Broad Street Conservatory in Philadelphia, and from 1912 at the American Institute of Applied Music in New York.
In 1889 he returned to Hamburg, where he taught at the Conservatory and played as concert-master in the Philharmonic Society, but he returned to America in 1894 and made his permanant home in Brooklyn, New York, where he lived until his death.
In spite of his international reputation as a performer and as a teacher, Schradieck went into comparative obscurity in his later years. He died in 1918.

Quotes from others about the person
Spiering, his pupil, commented on this after Schradieck's death: "I cannot but feel that Schradieck should never have given up the congenial atmosphere of Leipzig. That a personality like Schradieck's could be brutally forced into semi-obscurity - as was the case during the last ten or more years of his life - demonstrates, to our shame be it said, to what extent the commercializing of art has progressed".
In 1882 Schradieck was married to J. Alice Bechtel, an American studying in Germany.
