Evidently the son of a highly reckoned citizen from Lübeck, one Hartwig Hagefeldt, who died on February 29, 1555. None of the Bornholmer Hartwig/Hartvig's used the surname "Hagefeldt". A son of mayor Hartwigis thought to be Cort Hartwig, who in 1572-73 was the manager of Hammershus Len.

Augustin Hartwig is the oldest known member of this Bornholmer family. He came to Bornholm during a time when Lübeck had controlled Bornholm since circa 1525. King Frederik I had forfeited the control of Bornholm to Lübeck for 50 years because of his inability to pay debts owed to the city; which had aided him in wresting the throne from his brother. The natives of Bornholm are recorded to have groaned under the Hansa's rule, and declared "they would rather be under the Turks, than under the German, Christian, imperial city." Augustin is mentioned in records as being the Mayor of Nexø (also spelled Neksø) in 1555.

A court case document from that year (1555) begins (in the original old danish):
"Wij effterne, Esbern Myre Byffogeth, Augustin Hartwick och Mickel Hansz Burgemester, Henrick Moffue och Michel .... borgere y Nexö mett menige Bymendt bekenne obenbare for alle mett dette vort offne breff, at Aaretc. MDLV .... dagen effter Catharinæ paa wort byting war skicket .... och menige man erlig man Anthonius Wiltfangh .... paa herrenes (det lybske raad) wegne war begerendes low och rett ...."

Translated to english:
"We the herein mentioned, Esbern Myre, Town-Bailiff, Augustin Hartwig and Mickel Hansen, Mayors, Henrick Moffue and Michel .... citizens of Nexø make it be known for all by our open letter that in the year of MDLV, the day after Catharinæ was sent before our council .... and the honest man Anthonius Wiltfangh .... was asking for justice on behalf of the Lübeck council ...."

This damaged document is kept by the state archives in the "Samlinger til danske Kongers Historie", also printed in "Aktstykker til Bornholms Historie", by D.J.R. Hübertz, 1851, page 251.

In 1609 he was a member of an advisory-commitee commissioned to write a new "Constitution" for Hans Lindenov in his relationship to Bornholm's peasant farmers (bønder). There his signature reads: "Michel Hertuig Eghen Haandt" (Michel Hartwig, by my own hand).
