After graduating from high school, Hoff began to study economics and law at Friedrichs University . In 1906 he became active in the Corps Borussia Halle . In 1907 he moved to the Julius Maximilians University and was also active in the Corps Nassovia Würzburg . As an inactive he finished his studies at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen , which made him a Dr. jur. PhD. In the following year Hoff joined the management of the Central Association of German Industrialists .

From 1914 Hoff took part in the First World War as a front-line officer in the Mansfeld Field Artillery Regiment No. 75 ( 8th Division (German Empire) ) . In the autumn of 1915 Hoff was appointed to the management of the War Committee of German Industry in Berlin. After the establishment of the Reich Association of German Industry , Hoff was taken over in the same capacity in this organization and at the same time commissioned to represent the employers in the Central Working Group. He held this position until April 1923. Hoff later took over the management of industrial trade associations in Berlin.

Around 1920 Hoff joined the German People's Party (DVP). From December 1924 to September 1930 he sat for them as a member of the Reichstag , in which he represented constituency 5 (Frankfurt). In 1932 Hoff left the DVP when the party leadership rejected the merger with the German National People's Party to form a new right-wing party, which he considered necessary . Instead, he joined the German Center Party , for which he was once again briefly a member of the Reichstag in 1933 .

In 1941 Hoff became a member of the supervisory board of a worsted spinning mill in Leipzig and of the Luckenwalder fine cloth factory.
