Life

Hartwig advised the management of the basketball team of SG FT / MTV Braunschweig in 1992, initially at short notice, on financial issues, in summer 1992 he took over the management of the economically troubled license holder of the first division club (SG Basketball GmbH) as the sole shareholder. In 1994 the team was relegated from the basketball league . The haulier acquired the Bundesliga license from BG Bramsche / Osnabrück for a contribution of 100,000 D-Marks, so that Braunschweig returned to the top German division under his leadership from the 1995/96 season. Hartwig was Vice President of the German Basketball Federation for three years , where his responsibilities included league and referee matters. Hartwig later said of himself that he was "an influential man in German basketball".

Until 2000 he was managing director and sole shareholder of the licensee of the Braunschweig professional team and thus, according to basketball journalist Dino Reisner, "for years the sole maker of Braunschweig basketball". After leaving as club owner, he made financial demands totaling 700,000 DM on the successor to the Braunschweig Bundesliga club, accused his successors of serious negligence and was banned from halls. According to his own statement, Hartwig put more than one million D-Marks of his private assets into basketball during his tenure as a partner in the SG operating company. He campaigned for the construction of the Volkswagen Hall , which, according to Hartwig, was built thanks to his urging when he threatened to sell the Braunschweig basketball license to Bielefeld in 1999 , which he later described as a “pretext to put pressure on”.

Hartwig was the founder of the shipping company Hartwig KG, hotel owner and chairman of the board of the Braunschweig employers' association.
