Wolfgang Stumpf was a trained theater actor with engagements in Zurich, Nuremberg, Hamburg, Lucerne and Hamburg before he started a film career in the 1950s. He was one of the few West German actors who were offered leading roles in lavish feature film productions at DEFA . For example, director Martin Hellberg engaged him in 1955 as the main actor in the monumental film Thomas Müntzer - A Film of German History and in 1956 for his war epic Where You Go .

Further film and television productions followed. Since 1959, Stumpf worked exclusively in western Germany. The artist was married to actress Christine Mylius until her death in 1982 . His daughters Andrea Jonasson and Isabel Stumpf are also actresses. Stumpf's grave is in the Ohlsdorf cemetery (X4, 180–181).
