The academy training in Munich fell into the National Socialist era. As an opponent of the regime, he had few chances for his development. He was admitted to the Bavarian Kunstkammer during the war. In 1946 he was accepted into the professional association of fine artists in Munich, which was followed by his first publications in the Neue Zeitung. In 1947, the passionate opera singer and his then wife Dorothea Wecker (October 19, 1920 – December 6, 2006) had their only son together, Konstantin Alexander. In 1957 and 1958 Wecker-Bergheim lectured at the University of Los Angeles. In 1969 he founded his own private painting school. From 1975 he took on a teaching position at the Graphic Academy in Munich (today the Vocational School Center Alois Senefelder Munich). In 1982, Wecker-Bergheim was appointed professor.
