He was born in Altwis in 1803, the son of peasants Joseph Hartmann and his wife Barbara Nietlisbach and baptised on the day after his birth in the local parish.
He attended school in Solothurn and entered the novitiate of the Capuchin Order on 17 September 1821.[6]

In 1822 he professed his vows and was ordained a priest on September 24, 1825. After ordination, he worked as a chaplain in Luzern, then as novice master and teacher of theology at Fribourg until 1830. In 1839, he was sent to Solothurn to teach philosophy. During his teaching days, he started to feel a strong desire to go to the overseas missions. Permission was granted him to go as a missionary only after much hesitation from his superiors.
In September 1841, Hartmann left Switzerland and traveled to Rome on foot. In 1843, he was chosen to go with the Mission to Agra in India. After five months, he was reassigned to head the mission station in the town of Gwalior, in what is now Madhya Pradesh.[7]

He worked with great zeal and under difficult conditions.
On July 9, 1854 Anastasius Hartmann became Vicar Apostolic of Bombay.[10]
Death
Hartmann died on 24 April 1866 in his residence at St. Joseph's Orphanage at Kurji,(near Patna),[11] from cholera . In life he had a reputation of holiness. He was buried in the (old) Cathedral of Patna.[12]
A cause for Hartmann's beatification was opened on 29 December 1909.[13] Hartmann was declared venerable[14] on 21 December 1998 by Pope John Paul II.[15]
