Hanne Ott, as he was mostly called in the industry, received his practical film training in the early post-war period under the guidance of his renowned colleague Erich Kettelhut , who brought him to his side in 1953 as co-chief architect. Up until Kettelhut's retirement from the cinema business in 1960, the two of them formed a team in a series of dignified entertainment films, including Fritz Lang's staged farewell performance The 1000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse .

Subsequently, Ott cooperated with Hans Berthel for several years . In the mid-1960s, Johannes Ott switched to television and designed the sets for a series of productions for the SFB and ZDF . As a result of a serious accident and subsequent disability, Ott withdrew into private life in the mid-1970s. In the last years of his life he was a nursing case and lived in a home.
