In this thesis the author deals with a conjecture of \textit{R. Hartshorne} [Ample subvarieties of algebraic varieties. Berlin etc.: Springer Verlag (1970; Zbl 0208.48901)] which claimes that two submanifolds of a compact complex \(n\)-dimensional manifold must intersect, if their normal bundles are ample and the sum of their dimensions is at least \(n\). If one of the submanifolds is a divisor, the conjecture is true. So, in dimension 4, one has to consider the intersection of two surfaces. The author studies Hartshorne's conjecture in the case of fibrations over 3-folds with one-dimensional fibres. He obtains that the conjecture is true in the case of \(\mathbb{P}^1\)-bundles over Fano 3-folds with second Betti-number equal to 1 and in the case of a family of smooth irreducible curves over a Fano 3-fold with second Betti-number equal to 1 and vanishing third Betti-number. If one replaces ``ample'' by the seemingly stronger notion of ``Griffiths-positivity'' then there is a result of \textit{D. Barlet}, \textit{T. Peternell} and \textit{M. Schneider} [Math. Ann. 286, No. 1-3, 13--25 (1990; Zbl 0716.32011)] proving the conjecture for \(\mathbb{P}^2\)-bundles over compact complex surfaces. The author extends this result to \(\mathbb{P}^m\)-bundles over projective \(n\)-manifolds \((m\geq n\geq 2)\). He proves that two 2-codimensional submanifolds with Griffiths-positive normal bundle must intersect. By intersecting with hyperplane sections he reduces this to the result of D. Barlet, T. Peternell and M. Schneider.
