From a young age, Wimmer showed a keen interest in music, and his parents encouraged him to pursue his passion. Wimmer began his musical training at the age of six, when he started taking piano lessons. He quickly showed a natural talent for the instrument and progressed rapidly.

His talent and dedication to music caught the attention of several prominent musicians, who encouraged him to pursue a career in music. After completing his high school education, Wimmer enrolled at the Berlin University of the Arts, where he studied music composition and performance.

Wimmer's career as a professional musician began in the early 1970s, when he joined the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra as a cellist.
