He is a German writer, painter and composer. He is also a judge at the Constitutional Court of Brandenburg.

He fled to West Germany during the Cold War and was the subject of the song "Enfant perdu" ("Lost child") by Wolf Biermann. In the song, Biermann mocked Havemann for fleeing East Germany and thus deserting socialism.

In 2023 he co-authored the novel Begabung usw with his lover Hanna Lakomy.[1]
