From 1991 to 2002 he was a permanent member of the ensemble at the United Städtische Bühnen Krefeld-Mönchengladbach under the directors Wolfgang Gropper and Jens Pesel .

Hoffmann worked for many years as an ensemble speaker at the United City Theaters of Krefeld – Mönchengladbach. In addition, from 2001 until his death he worked as a director of the amateur play group of Bayer AG Uerdingen .
