After graduating from high school in Ravensburg, Wolf studied political science at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg and at the Free University of Berlin . In 1974 he graduated with a diploma. In 1986 he received his doctorate as Dr. phil. He defines himself as a “ socialist influenced by Rosa Luxemburg and a critic of Stalinism oriented towards Leon Trotsky ” . Winfried Wolf was a member of the Trotskyist group International Marxists (GIM) and the United Socialist Party (VSP). In 1994 he ran as a non-party member of the PDS state list in Baden-Württemberg and was elected to the German Bundestag for the PDS. In 1997 he joined the PDS as a party member. Until 2002 he was a member of the German Bundestag , where he was also the transport policy spokesman for the PDS parliamentary group. He was considered a representative of the New Left in the party and belonged to the “left”, undogmatic wing of the PDS. During his time as a member of the Bundestag, he was also the transport policy spokesman for the PDS and a member of the Bundestag Defense Committee . Winfried Wolf is a member of the scientific advisory board of attac and the education community SALZ .

He also works as an author for the daily newspaper Junge Welt , for the monthly SoZ and has published several books, mainly on transport policy.

In May 2004 he resigned from the PDS. The main reason he cited was that the PDS was no longer a socialist party.

In 2005, Wolf joined WASG Berlin.
