In 1884 he passed the anatomy exam. He was married to the painter Marta Hartung von Berkel (born 1893) and had two sons. Since 1911, the Hartung family lived in a villa in Jena, built in 1908 at today's Friedrich-Engels-Strasse 15, which is still called "Villa Hartung" by the residents of the area. The family lived in modest, financially difficult circumstances. After Eduard Hartung's death in 1939, his wife continued to live in this villa until her death in 1984.
In the 1880s, Eduard Hartung painted pictures with Berlin motifs. At the beginning of the 20th century, Hartung came to Eisenach every year for eight years and painted 12 paintings of the Wartburg in different seasons and moods. These Wartburg paintings were reproduced by the F. Bruckmann Art Institute as art prints for a wide audience. Eduard Hartung painted landscapes and still lifes in an impressionistic style.
