Carlo Sattler was born in Florence. His father, the painter Ernst Sattler, was originally from the Schweinfurt area, but had, like other artists, been drawn to Tuscany. While he was growing up Sattler came under the influence of another German expatriate, the sculptor Adolf Hildebrand (1847–1921). Between 1896 and 1898 Sattler studied architecture at the Dresden Technological Academy where his teachers included Paul Wallot and Cornelius Gurlitt. In 1898, responding to a "not to be resisted" invitation from Hildebrand, he moved to Munich which is where he settled and remained for the rest of his life. 1898 marked the start of a long and fruitful professional collaboration with the sculptor. In 1902 he married Eva "Nini" Hildebrand which meant that Adolf Hildebrand became his father-in-law. For several years Hilderand and Sattler were based at the same premises, but in 1906 Carl Sattler opened his own Munich based architecture practice. Military defeat in 1918 was followed by an outbreak of revolution across many parts of Germany. Under the short-lived Munich Soviet Sattler was a member of the Arts Council. Between 1925 and 1933 he served as director of the Royal Academy of Applied Arts ("Königliche Kunstgewerbeschule") in Munich, in succession to Richard Riemerschmid. He continued to work at the academy till 1939 when he was dismissed because of his "intermarriage to a Jewish woman". In his late 60s by the time the war ended in 1945, Sattler nevertheless returned briefly to prominence, serving between 1946 and 1957 as the president of the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. In 1948 his son, the architect-diplomat Dieter Sattler played a leading role in establishing the Bavarian Fine Arts Academy. Carl Sattler was a founder member.
