During the National Socialist era , a total of 20 of his works were exhibited at the Great German Art Exhibition in the House of German Art in Munich .

After the end of the Second World War , Bernd Hartmann lived in Lintel (from 1970: district of Rheda-Wiedenbrück) and devoted himself mainly to church art. In 1956 he married the artist Ima Rochelle. Bernd Hartmann died in 1972. In Rheda-Wiedenbrück, the street on his former home was named after him. In addition, a bust of the sculptor made by his wife was placed in a public park in the city.
