Deutschmann was born in 1926 as the son of a railroad worker. He attended elementary school and, from 1936, the rural high school in Bautzen, which he had to end prematurely in 1943 with the maturity mark. He was called up for military service and served in the Navy from January 1944. After the end of the Second World War , he began an apprenticeship as a bricklayer and studied structural engineering at the Technical University in Prague from 1946 to 1949 . During his studies he was a member of the Association of Sorbian Students in Czechoslovakia Serbowka .

In 1950 Deutschmann came to Dresden and worked as a project engineer in Heinrich Rettig's design office . Already at the end of 1950 he became Rettig's assistant at the professorship for building construction and design theory at the Technical University of Dresden, and in 1953 senior assistant. In 1956, Deutschmann switched to the practice and became head of the research and development department at VEB Montagebau Berlin. At the same time, he wrote his dissertation at the TH Dresden with the title The typical construction features of the Lausitz wooden buildings with special consideration of the Sorbian share , with which he successfully completed his doctorate in 1957. Two years later, his work Lausitzer Holzbaukunst was published, paying special attention to the Sorbian part , which is still considered the “standard work on questions of folk architecture” today.

From 1960, Deutschmann taught as a lecturer at the Professorship for Construction Technology at the Institute for Construction Production at the University of Construction in Leipzig and obtained his habilitation there at the beginning of 1967 with the thesis Technological and Metrological Basics for the use of forced fits in columns made of precast reinforced concrete . With it he created "essential prerequisites for the introduction of statistical quality control to monitor important prefabrication and assembly processes". After working as a professor with a teaching position for building construction and design theory at the TU Dresden from 1967, he was appointed full professor for production engineering in 1969. He succeeded his former mentor Heinrich Rettig; When Rettig died in 1974, Deutschmann wrote an obituary for Rettig, which appeared in the renowned journal Architektur der DDR . Deutschmann was director of the civil engineering section from 1971 to 1976; in 1982 he headed the building technology science department at the TU Dresden. He retired in 1991; Deutschmann died in 2005 after a serious illness and was buried in the Old Catholic Cemetery in Dresden.

Deutschmann's research areas included Sorbian folk architecture, the precision of technological processes and research in the field of complex housing construction. His research group at the TU Dresden made a significant contribution to the development of the WBS 70 , as they designed a construction that led to an increase in the load level in residential construction from 5 megaponds to 9 megaponds. Among other things, Deutschmann designed the studio house of Měrćin Nowak-Njechorński in Nechern in 1953 and the Zellescher Weg student dormitories in Dresden in the early 1950s . The Technical and Economic University of Budapest awarded Deutschmann an honorary doctorate in 1991 .
