Life

Hartwig began his acting career at the theater, where he found work again and again - for example at the Oldenburg State Theater and after the end of the war in the theater club in the British Center Berlin.

In addition, since his debut in the film Ich für dich - Du für mich in the role of a settler and his participation as landowner in the film Glückspilze, made in 1934, he has been a busy actor in German talkies. Hartwig appeared almost exclusively in supporting roles, but was present in the character field in numerous large film productions of his time. He starred in comedies like Bachelors Paradise , crime films like Dr. Crippen on board , period films such as The Great King , in the Zarah Leander film dramas The Path to the Open and Back then . After the end of the war, Hartwig was able to continue this career seamlessly. He was seen in Marriage in the Shadow , which deals with the Nazi past and the fate of the actor Joachim Gottschalk , in Dr. Semmelweis - savior of the mothers and next to Heinz Rühmann in the youth judge .

Hartwig was trusted not as an actor but as a speaker to a wide audience. He worked for radio (including as "von Borcke" in a SFB production by Effi Briest ) and between 1948 and 1972 he was extensively involved in dubbing. He lent his voice to John Carradine ( Ghost Party ), Jack MacGowran ( Doctor Schiwago ), John McIntire ( Elmer Gantry ), Alan Napier ( 36 hours ), Gig Young ( The Three Musketeers ), but also many cartoon characters such as “Mr. Sexton “( John Fiedler ) in Disney's Robin Hood .
