Hüttmann was born as the son of a farm laborer in an estate card of the then Grand Ducal Oldenburg village of Schönwalde. After attending the Schönwalde country school from 1875 to 1884, he completed an apprenticeship as a bricklayer in Eutin by 1887 . From 1887 to 1899 he worked as a construction worker in various northern and central German locations.

Around 1890 Hüttmann joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). In the Frankfurt SPD organization, he made close friends with Wilhelm Dittmann . From 1895 to 1898 Hüttmann was chairman of the bricklayers' association. In 1901 he became a union secretary. From 1901 to 1928 he was district manager of the bricklayers 'and construction workers' association and from 1904 to 1924 city ​​councilor in Frankfurt am Main .

In January 1912 Hüttmann entered the Reichstag of the German Empire , where he represented the constituency of Kassel 2 as a member of the constituency until the collapse of the monarchy in November 1918 .

At the end of 1917, during the First World War , Hüttmann left the SPD to join the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD). In the Frankfurt area he was one of the leaders of the SPD along with Robert Dißmann and Toni Sender .

Almost two and a half years later, in February 1921, he was elected for the USPD as a member of the Prussian state parliament, which he only belonged to until March 1921, when he succeeded after new elections in Reichstag constituencies 1 and 14 on February 20 on a Reich election proposal to move in, elected in June 1920, for the first Reichstag of the Weimar Republic. In 1922 Hüttmann left the USPD and returned to the SPD, whose parliamentary group he also joined. After his re-election in the elections of May 1924 and December 1924 , he was a member of the Reichstag for two more legislative terms as a representative of constituency 19 (Hessen-Nassau).

Hüttmann died in Frankfurt in 1928. An obituary in the Socialist Monthly Bulletin emphasized that he had done "a lot [...] for the upward development of the working class in Germany". Ludwig Heyde again identified him as "one of the most ardent leaders and fighters [of the workers' movement] as well as a splendid person and character."
