Hasselmann completed an apprenticeship as a mechanic and from 1906 worked in the workshop for cinema equipment and gramophones at Carl Buderus in Hanover. In the same year, Hasselmann and Adolf Peck shot a re- enactment film about the captain von Köpenick for Buderus .

Hasselmann worked for Bioscop, Vitascop and Gloria Film in Berlin until 1913.
Until 1919 Hasselmann was again active in the film and came to their own artistic expression, the public and environment characterizations in the German Chamber of feature film came to meet. Karl Hasselmann worked for Ewald André Dupont (including Die Geierwally , 1920), Paul Leni and Leopold Jessner ( back stairs , 1921), Karl Grune ( Die Strasse and Schlagende Wetter , 1923) and Lupu Pick ( New Year's Eve , 1923).
