Born as the son of a wallpaper manufacturer in Einbeck, Rohmeyer first attended various art academies. In 1903 he joined Fritz Mackensen and got to know Fischerhude on a hike together. Here he settled in 1904 as the first of a series of artists ( Heinrich Breling , Amelie Breling , Otto Modersohn , Clara Rilke-Westhoff ). He spent the winter months of 1905/06 and 1908/09 in Olevano and Rome. In 1912 he went back to an art academy in order to develop himself further as a master student of Hans Olde in Kassel. When he returned to the familiar Fischerhude, he built a studio in Bredenau in 1914. His versatile work was expressed in painting and graphics, and since the late 1920s also in blueprinting , architecture, cabinet making and toy manufacturing. So that arose after his plans house Oberneulander Highway 141A in Bremen. <Vr /> His destination and scenic area was both his artistic interest as well as its responsible care as an architect and founder of Fischerhuder Art Show (1921). It is thanks to him that Fischerhude - unlike Worpswede - was able to retain its rural character.

His son is the photographer Klaus Rohmeyer (1929–2013).
