In his publications, Gunter Haug initially dealt with local history topics of the Swabian region until he made his debut as a crime novel writer with Tiefenrausch in 1998 . In his novels, which appeared under the heading “Swabian crime thrillers”, Haug initially combined scenes from southern Germany with topics from diving before shifting the focus to mostly current events from politics and business.

His book This One Life , which appeared in September 2006 and deals with a true story (the life and the violent end of August Voll, the grandfather of Haug's wife) between 1933 and 1945, made headlines nationwide because it contained the real names of victims and perpetrators in the Nazi era are given. In March 2015 the book was published by Landhege-Verlag as a paperback in its 4th edition (with a new afterword).

Haug's books No Man's Daughter and No Man's Mother became bestsellers. No man's daughter has so far reached 32 issues with half a million readers. No man's mother appeared in a total of 20 editions. This trilogy was completed in 2008 with the title So was the time - life stories from the early years (currently in the 4th edition).

In 2008, he and Radio 8 Ansbach received the radio media award from the Bavarian State Media Center for The Greatest Radio History of All Time .

In several factual novels about the life of well-known industrial pioneers, Haug has dealt with the “human side of economic history”. And so - in the style of his bestseller No Man's Daughter - other works have been published: The historical novel about Robert Bosch - the man who moved the world, published in 2009 - is now in its 4th edition. In August 2015, Swabian Star Hours followed - how we became world leaders .
