Mahlmann worked from 1934 to 1938 as a student of Richard Müller at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden and initially also worked as a stage painter and commercial artist. During World War II, he was a soldier in the Russian campaign. Mahlmann turned to non-representational painting after 1945, strongly influenced by Wassili Kandinsky and Josef Albers, and concentrated on geometric-constructivist compositions. In 1953 he married Gudrun Piper, another constructivist non-representational painter; he always exhibited together with her. From 1958 to 1977 he worked as a teacher at the University of Design in Hamburg, from then on he worked as a freelance artist. The couple lived in Wedel near Hamburg until his death.
