After high school and Reich Labor Service, Schulte studied Latin, Greek and history in her hometown of Heidelberg from 1940. By moving to the Martin Luther University Halle (Saale) , she was able to complete her studies in Protestant theology, duly matriculated for this subject. She passed her first theological exam there in 1945. Her advisor during this difficult time was Hermann Maas , at that time pastor of the Heiliggeistgemeinde Heidelberg . After the war returned to Heidelberg Schulte back and was here in 1947 because of their dissertation The concept of Revelation in the New Testament to the doctor of theology doctorate . At that time, it was not possible for her to become a pastor, as her (Baden) regional church did not yet provide for the ordination of women . From 1950 until her retirement in 1981 she worked as a religion teacher at various grammar schools in Baden and also published various studies on the Old Testament. In 1952 she was consecrated "Vicaress" of the Evangelical Church in Baden , in 1962 she was given the official title of "Pastor".

Hannelis Schulte dedicated her Old Testament studies on the Yahwist to her teacher Gustav Hölscher . She dedicated her New Testament dissertation to her teachers Martin Dibelius and Julius Schniewind .

The death of her brother as a soldier in World War II made Hannelis Schulte a peace activist. Schulte was involved in the West German peace movement and, after 1990, in the all-German peace movement and was a member of the Christian Peace Conference (CFK), of which she was a member of the German regional committee for many years.
