Andreas Hupke was born the sixth of eight children and grew up in Kalterherberg . As devout Protestants and refugees from Pomerania, his parents were outsiders in a small, purely Catholic Eifel community. After leaving school, he first trained as a dairy specialist .

He later became a stage worker at the stages of the city of Cologne . Until his retirement (2015) he represented as a Staff Council Chairman the department of art and culture in the General Staff of the City of Cologne.
Hupke was politicized, among other things, by the Stollwerck occupation and by the successful initiative against a planned Cologne city motorway .

In 2014, Hupke received 18 out of a total of 19 votes because a Green representative was unable to attend.
