Hundiker returned as an educator to his father's institute, who had meanwhile set up the Philanthropin , an educational institution for higher classes , in Vechelde near Braunschweig . For the school founded in 1804, Wilhelm Theodorhundiker wrote detailed curricula that were oriented towards practical life and contained content such as modern languages, natural sciences , gymnastics and dance as well as commercial arithmetic and commercial geography.

After the school was closed in 1819, he accepted a position as director of the higher commercial and commercial school in Magdeburg . In 1822 he received a professorship at the commercial school in Bremen , where he also assisted David Christian Ortgies (1786-1859) in 1827 when he founded his school for the deaf, the Deaf-Mute Institute .

Wilhelm Theodorhundiker was the author of foreign language textbooks and a connoisseur of the old German language and literature, about which he gave lectures in the Bremen Museum.

A contemporary obituary attributed his death in 1828 to a rheumatic fever and "brainwash" , which he would have contracted from a cold while visiting the theater.
