Lukas Hartmann wrote his first stories at the age of 13. He completed a teacher training course in Bern with majors in German, history and music, and worked first as a teacher. He then decided to pursue further studies in psychology, but he did not graduate, and later worked as social worker, journalist and writer. [1] His novels Anna - annA and Pestalozzis Berg have been filmed.
Hartmann's grandmother was one of the so-called Verdingkinder , hence Hartmann is one of the most prominent supporters of the so-called Wiedergutmachungsinitiative . [2] In April 2018, Ein Bild von Lydia was published, a historical novel about Lydia Welti-Escher. [3]
Since 1996 Hartmann has been married to the Swiss politician Simonetta Sommaruga. [4]
