Bargheer was born as the son of the Bückeburg clarinetist and member of the princely court orchestra Christian Bargheer (* January 5, 1807, † November 29, 1880) and his wife Sophie Bargheer, née. Becker born. Like his younger brother (Gustav) Adolf (October 21, 1840, † March 10, 1901) he received first violin lessons from his father, then from the Bückeburg concertmaster Lüb (ec) ke. At the age of 17 he already appeared as a solo violinist. In August 1849 he took violin lessons in Kassel with Louis Spohr; he also received composition lessons from Otto Kraushaar .

On the recommendation of Spohr, he received a position as court musician at the Detmold Princely Court Orchestra on July 1, 1850, initially with a salary of 200 Rth. Prince Leopold III. Bargheer supported and financed his further education, violin lessons with Ferdinand David in Leipzig in 1851 and 1853, and Joseph Joachim in Hanover as well as further composition lessons with Kraushaar in Kassel (1854). Bargheer had a close friendship with Johannes Brahms since his stay as a music teacher at the court in Detmold in the summer months of 1857 to 1860, as did Clara Schumann . In the 50s and 60s, Bargheer, supported by his prince, developed a lively concert tour activity that took him to England, Holland and Russia. In 1856 he was appointed "Kammermusicus", in 1860 as "Hofconcertmeister" and in 1862, after Clemens August Kiel's dismissal, as his successor as conductor and Kapellmeister of the princely court orchestra in Detmold; In 1861 he had turned down concert master positions in Hamburg and Weimar. Bargheer stayed in Detmold until the court orchestra opened in 1876 after the death of Leopold III. was dissolved by his successor Woldemar .

In 1860 he got engaged to the Göttingen doctor's daughter and mezzo-soprano Bertha Wagner (* August 6, 1838, † November 8, 1876), whom he married in July 1861. The couple had 3 children. Bertha died in November 1876 while the family relocated to Hamburg; In 1879 Bargheer married Fanny Wöhler (* April 10, 1835, † March 23, 1907), a friend of his wife and daughter of the chemist Friedrich Wöhler in Göttingen. In Hamburg Bargheer was concertmaster of the Philharmonic Society (1876 to 1888) and directed its chamber music evenings. He taught violin playing at the Bernutschen Conservatory in Hamburg (1876–1887). In the last years of his life he is said to have composed more than when he was a virtuoso and conductor. Bargheer died on May 19, 1902 in Hamburg.
