After visiting the Nordhausen Gymnasium Wilhelm Nebelung studied economics in Berlin . He then completed practical training as a journalist in Gotha and became the editor of a newspaper in Hanover . After his military service, Nebelung moved back to his hometown of Nordhausen in 1889 and became editor of the Nordhausen district and intelligence paper (later Nordhäuser Zeitung ). Two years later he was editor-in-chief and, together with his brother Friedrich Nebelung, ran Theodor Müller's publishing house and printing company.
In November 1896 he was elected city councilor and remained so for 25 years. He was liberal and, after the First World War, chairman of the German Democratic Party (DDP) in Nordhausen. In January 1919 he was elected to the Prussian state constitutional assembly in Berlin.
