Hägermann's father died in World War II . The family fled to Wolfshagen in the Harz Mountains . He passed the Abitur in Goslar . He then studied history, historical auxiliary sciences and German at the universities of Frankfurt am Main , Cologne , Göttingen and Würzburg . He specialized in Medieval Studies , the science of the European Middle Ages . In 1967 he received his doctorate in Würzburg with the thesis Archbishop Christian I of Mainz as the imperial legate of Friedrich Barbarossa in Italy .

From 1967 to 1974 Dieter Hägermann worked as a scientific assistant to Werner Goez at the universities of Würzburg and Erlangen-Nuremberg . He researched the history of the empire and the pope. Since 1973 Hägermann worked for the Monumenta Germaniae Historica .

From 1976 until his retirement in 2004, Hägermann taught as a professor of history with a focus on the Middle Ages at the University of Bremen .

His main research interests included manorial rule and the Carolingian era . In the Charles Year 2000, Hägermann presented a highly regarded biography of Charlemagne, which has meanwhile been translated into numerous languages . Another research focus was the medieval history of technology . Hägermann brought out numerous publications on agriculture, mining, mill, saltworks and transport technology in the Middle Ages and, last but not least, articles in the Lexicon of the Middle Ages , of which he was a member of the editorial board. Along with Dietrich Lohrmann and Volker Schmidtchen, he was one of the few medievalists in Germany who had dealt with problems of the history of technology to a significant extent. Bremen's regional history was linked through medieval history . In addition to the communal tradition as the Carolingian founding town and seat of a mission diocese, the oldest diocese on Saxon soil and an archdiocese, contributions also dealt with ecclesiastical aspects of individual Bremen clergy and their after-effects such as Willehad , Adalbert or Adam von Bremen . He was able to largely complete the works on the medieval reform papacy and the history of the church in Bremen, but did not live to see them go to press.

Hägermann was a member of the historical commission for Lower Saxony and Bremen . He has been a member of the Bremen Historical Society since 1983 and was its chairman from 1994 to 2004. For the Bremisches Jahrbuch he was not only an author and reviewer, but also a member of the editorial committee for ten years. He gave numerous lectures.
