Hartmann was a son of King Rudolf I and his wife Gertrud von Hohenberg .

Politically highly talented, the declared favorite son constantly advised his father on government affairs. Rudolf even planned to transfer the royal dignity to him and not to his eldest son Albrecht .

To give expression to his special position with his father, the latter engaged him to Johanna , a daughter of King Edward I of England.

On the way to see his father, Hartmann's boat capsized and the 18-year-old drowned with 13 other aristocrats between Breisach and Strasbourg in the Rhine . He was then buried in Basel Minster . In 1770 the ceremonial translation of the imperial-royal-also-ducal-Austrian highest corpses into the newly built St. Blasien Cathedral took place. After the abolition of the St. Blasien monastery, it was transferred to the St. Paul monastery in Lavanttal .

According to Moritz Hohenbaum van der Meer, his soft parts were buried separately in the Rheinau monastery and his tomb there was renovated in 1770 by Abbot Januarius.
