Hermann Schultz, the son of the theologian Hermann Schultz (1836-1903) and his wife Juliana, née Gelzer, initially received private lessons and from 1891 attended the Göttingen grammar school under the direction of Anton Viertel . After graduating, he studied Classical Philology, Archeology and Ancient History from the summer semester of 1900 , first for one semester in Basel , then from October 1900 in Göttingen. Here he interrupted his studies for a year to complete an officer training course. After his father's death in May 1903, Schultz moved to Berlin University for two semesters .

In the curriculum vitae attached to this document, he mentions Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff and Jacob Wackernagel as his most influential academic teachers in addition to the reviewers for his work . Schultz received the suggestion for his doctoral thesis from Wilamowitz in Berlin.
After completing his doctorate, Schultz worked from 1907 to 1908 as an assistant at the German Archaeological Institute in Rome , and after leaving the company he became a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute . He then continued his studies in Göttingen and Munich . On July 26, 1910 , he completed his habilitation in Göttingen in the field of classical philology. As a private lecturer, he led the Greek courses for beginners and was appointed assistant at the Philological Seminary at Easter 1912. When the First World War broke out , Schultz, who was a lieutenant in the reserve, volunteered. He fell in the Argonne on February 17, 1915 .
In his scientific work, Schultz dealt with wide areas of Greek and Latin literature. Since his studies, a focus has been on Greek poetry, especially Hesiod's epics and the associated scholias . From 1906 to 1907 he successfully worked on a prize assignment from the Royal Society of Sciences in Göttingen , in which he researched the transmission history of the Hesiod scholias. In this context he undertook research trips to Italy (1906), Greece (1907) and later to Paris, London, Oxford and Cambridge, where he examined numerous Hesiod manuscripts.
In the estate of the philologist Carl Wendel (1874–1951) there are some letters from Schultz and his widow Annemarie. Schultz's estate is in the Lower Saxony State and University Library in Göttingen (signature: Cod. Ms. H. Schultz).
