Wolfsheim is a synthpop band from Hamburg, Germany. The band was founded in 1987 by Markus Reinhardt and Pompejo Ricciardi — they were inspired by the name of a fictional character from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.

Reinhardt’s brother Oliver Reinhardt joined the band sometime afterward. After producing a demo tape, co-founder Ricciardi left the band and was replaced by Peter Heppner. Heppner had known the band from mutual friends and from growing up in the same neighborhood in Hamburg. Oliver Reinhardt departed the band, leaving the current lineup as Peter Heppner (vocals) and Markus Reinhardt (electronics).

The first public Wolfsheim live-gig took place in “Werkstatt 3”, a small club in Hamburg.
