Life
Hoffstadt's father was a councilor for the princes of Leiningen in Amorbach and died early. From 1815 onwards, Hoffstadt grew up with his uncle, Minister Georg Friedrich von Zentner, in Munich. After graduating from the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich in 1818 , he began studying law at the University of Erlangen in autumn 1820 and became a member of the Concordia student union. After its dissolution in 1821, he became a member of the Bubenreuth fraternity and moved to Landshut University in May 1822 . His studbook has been preserved from his student days , which is now in the archive of the family of his former federal brother Hans von und zu Aufseß . In 1831 he founded with Aufseß, Franz Graf Pocci , Ludwig Schwanthaler , the Baron v. Bernhard and other friends in Munich founded the Society for German Archeology on the Three Shields . In 1834 Hoffstadt became an actuary at the federal central authority in Frankfurt am Main, in 1842 a councilor at the city court in Munich and in 1844 a judge of appeals in Aschaffenburg.
His main work, the Gothic ABC book , with which he gathered basic rules for artists and workers at the beginning of the neo-Gothic period of the 19th century and created a plan of Christian architectural history, became important. His estate is kept in the Architecture Museum of the Technical University of Munich .
