In addition to building numerous private houses, drawing up the development plan for Grunewald and public secular buildings, he was mainly involved in the expansion and renovation of churches in eastern Germany . Most of Hartung's surviving works are now in Poland .

The Hartung column named after him is a well-known term in bridge construction . This cast iron pendulum support was used for railway bridges in the Berlin area between 1880 and 1910, for the first time during the construction of the Berlin Stadtbahn , and was a style-defining component of Berlin's railway architecture for around 100 years.
