According to Theodor Fontane, who knew the Scherenbergs and wrote about them in his autobiography,[1] the family originally came from Westphalia and his father, Johann Friedrich Scherenberg, lived in the Huguenot colony in Swinemünde. Hermann was born to Johann's second wife. His older half-brother was the poet, Christian Friedrich Scherenberg [de]. He was also related to the poet and journalist, Ernst Scherenberg [de].
For many years, he was an employee of the Illustrirte Zeitung, providing hundreds of illustrations. He drew portraits of prominent personalities and major events from Prussian and German history as well as scenes from everyday life.
He had one son, Hans, who apparently also became a painter, although no further information is available.
He was interred at the Luisenstädtischer Friedhof [de] in Berlin. The gravesite has not been preserved.[3]
