Wolfgang Treu's parents were the insurance salesman Wolfgang Paul Treu and his wife Victoria, née von Karpf. He attended grammar school in Berlin until 1942. After his parents separated, he was placed in several boarding schools in southern Germany.

After the end of the Second World War , which he no longer took part in despite being called up to the Volkssturm , he trained as a photographer in Lütjenburg for three years. At the Hamburg cultural film producer Alfred Ehrhardt, he trained as a cameraman. Wolfgang Treu made small documentaries and advertising films and was Heinz Pehlke's camera assistant from 1958 to 1962 .

He made his debut as head cameraman with the television film Die eightchte Runde , directed by Eberhard Itzenplitz . In addition to television films and series, he provided the images for the highly regarded feature films All Years Again , The Castle and Trotta . Treu tried again and again to get by with as little additional light as possible, which gave the pictures in his color films, as in The Pedestrian , a certain coarse grain and color diffusion.

Wolfgang Treu, who also shot many advertising films, has been teaching at various film schools since 1993, including at the Institute for Applied Media in Hamburg. In July 2000 the Baden-Württemberg Film Academy appointed him honorary professor. From 1993 to 2000 he was President of the Federal Camera Association , then Honorary President. In 2003 he was one of the founding members of the German Film Academy .

Wolfgang Treu had been married to Ellinor Busch since 1955 and had a son (* 1961). Treu died on New Year's Day 2018 at the age of 87 in his native Hamburg.
