Carl Hocheder was born as the son of a civil servant in Weiherhammer near Weiden in the Upper Palatinate . He studied from 1874 to 1878 Architecture at the Technical University of Munich , where he worked as a trainee after working for the railway section of Landshut , the General Directorate of Traffic institutions and the Landesbauamt Munich from 1881 to 1885 Friedrich von Thiersch assisted. After Hocheder worked as a building authority assessor in Amberg in 1885 , he worked from 1886 to 1889 as a building officer at the Munich City Building Department.

From 1898, Carl Hocheder was Albert Geul's successor as a full professor of building science at the Technical University of Munich . Alongside Theodor Fischer and Hans Grässel , he is one of the architects who significantly shaped the Munich cityscape at the turn of the century. He tried to create a school education with his own style of "Munich Baroque" (also: "Hocheder-Barock"), which he partly succeeded in doing when you look at the buildings of his students (including Hans Reissinger ).

In 1903, Hocheder received an offer as a town planning officer in Frankfurt am Main , but turned it down.
