He was born in [[Worms, Germany|Neuhausen]], and was educated in [[Heidelberg]].<ref>{{cite web |title=The Life and Works of Andreas Cellarius |url=https://webspace.science.uu.nl/~gent0113/cellarius/cellarius_biography.htm |website=webspace.science.uu.nl |access-date=12 February 2024}}</ref> The Protestant Cellarius may have left Heidelberg at the onset of the [[Thirty Years' War]] in 1618 or in 1622, when the city came into Catholic hands. His activities are unclear at this time, but based on his later works, it is conjectured that he spent time in Poland where he may have worked as a military engineer.

In 1625, he married Catharina Eltemans in [[Amsterdam]], where he worked as a schoolmaster at a Latin school. After a brief stay in [[The Hague]], the family moved to [[Hoorn]]. From 1637 until his death, he was rector of the Latin School in Hoorn, where [[Pieter Anthoniszoon Overtwater]] was conrector.

The minor planet [[12618 Cellarius]] is named in his honour.<ref>{{cite web |title=Small-Body Database Lookup |url=https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/sbdb_lookup.html#/?sstr=12618&view=OPDC |website=ssd.jpl.nasa.gov |access-date=12 February 2024}}</ref>
