After completing his studies, Schütz initially worked in Berlin for some time, then also in Augsburg , Nuremberg and Stuttgart , before returning to his hometown, where he then worked until his death.

After various illustrations in books and magazines up until the Weimar Republic , Hermann Schütz - again with his brother Georg - became known in the 1930s for his drawings for Das deutsche Reichsheer .
