Important roles there were Mulhammer in TS Eliot's Der Privatsekretär (1954), Selicour in Picard / Schiller's Der Parasit (1954) and Belmann in Christopher Fry's Das Dunkel ist Licht geht (1955). In that year he followed Gründgens to the Deutsches Schauspielhaus, whose ensemble he was a member to the end.

Schomberg, who had been married to the concert violinist Helga Schulz for the second time since 1947, also appeared in a number of films and numerous radio plays, such as 1949 alongside Heinz Rühmann and Elfriede Kuzmany in the comedy You can tell me a lot , 1953 in You Still Knocking (Director: Eduard Hermann ) with Kurt Lieck and Hans Lietzau or in 1955 under the director Fritz Schröder-Jahn in Philemon and Baucis with Paul Bildt and Hedwig Wangel .

Hermann and Helga Schomberg are buried in the cemetery in Morsum on Sylt.
