Wollheim was the son of a Jewish wool broker in Breslau. After finishing school in Breslau, he studied medicine in Berlin (probably from 1836). Together with other students, he founded the Beer Kingdom of Flanders and Brabant on June 7, 1837 . At the beginning of 1838 he resigned with about 10 other students and founded the Beer Duchy of Lorraine . For this turn the Corps Pomerania II was born on August 3, 1838 participation Wollheim. After graduating he was awarded a PhD on the sewing of (mensusbedingten) facial injuries to Dr. med. PhD. He returned to Breslau in 1840. There he had intensive contact with members of the Corps Silesia Breslau , which was friends with the Berlin Pomerania. Before 1848 Wollheim moved to Dyhernfurth in the Wohlau district . When the German Revolution reached the district in 1848/1849 , Wollheim campaigned for a peaceful and non-violent approach. On May 8, 1848, Wollheim was elected to the Prussian National Assembly in Berlin as a deputy member of the Wohlau district. At the end of May 1848 and again in September and October 1848 Wollheim was in Berlin because the district's chief deputy had to travel to Silesia for family reasons. At the end of January 1849, Wollheim was elected to the Second Chamber of the Prussian Parliament.

Wollheim never lost contact with the Corps Silesia in Breslau. In 1852 he was accepted as a member. In the same year he wrote and composed a parody of Tannhäuser and the singer war on Wartburg for a court day of this student union . Wollheim's work, first published in 1854 under the title Tannhäuser or the brawl on the Wartburg , was printed in a modified version in 1856 as Tannhäuser or the brawl on the Wartburg in a larger edition. Johann Nestroy took this last version, sometimes copying entire passages verbatim, as a template for his parody Tannhäuser (Nestroy) , which was premiered in Vienna in 1857. Wollheim also composed the student song Are we not born to glory, among other things . He died of cholera at the age of 38 . With his textbook for nurses , Wollheim had written one of the first textbooks for nursing .
