Hartmut Schoen studied in Mainz and Eindhoven, graduating in 1980. Since 1978 he has been an author, director and producer. He began making short documentaries while studying political science, journalism and public law. After his studies, he did an internship at a regional broadcaster in an after-work magazine, worked in a newsroom and then at ZDF-Länderspiegel.

He made his first short film about the home occupant and aircraft manufacturer Gustav Mesmer , for which he received the Federal Film Prize.

He then produced lengthy reports and documentaries for ZDF and ARD. Hartmut Schoen's documentary entitled Beyond the Shadow Line was a portrait of the Vietnam veteran Larry Powell from Bowling Green. Hartmut Schoen then switched to fictional films.

His first scenic story was written on behalf of the SWF and the editor Susan Schulte , whom he still sees as his mentor to this day.

His first feature film was The Last Guest with Karin Baal in the lead role. The film tells the story of " a bankruptcy trustee of a bankrupt, former luxury hotel, who makes a fantastic life of her own within the magnificent walls of this hotel, but does not notice how she succumbs to the hatred of the village and ultimately falls victim to the vengeance of its residents ."

Hartmut Schoen lives on Lake Constance.

The thematic niche of Hartmut Schoen's feature films “is filled with marginal characters, the village dump in Vom Kissing and Flying ( Felix Eitner ), the staid, abysmal lifeguard couple in Warten is death ( Barbara Auer and Ulrich Tukur ), the bigot Russian Germans in the carrot (Ivan Shvedoff), the lonely Mr. Müller in Der Grenzer und das Mädchen ( Axel Prahl ), the piano teacher ( Iris Berben ), who was excluded from the neighbors because of her drunkenness, and the loser and Plastefuger ( Heino Ferch ) in Die Mauer . " According to Schoen, these are the characters that appeal to him, "they are somehow harmless, but on closer inspection they are human, cleverly understandable, imaginative, often wild, always full of fantasy and love for life."
