reception

Hans Friedrich Blunck wrote a national revolutionary novel in 1920, the eponymous hero of which is Hein Hoyer. "Blunck anticipates the later National Socialist interpretation of the Hanseatic League, which in the Hanseatic League above all emphasizes leadership, defensive spirit and the internal structure that turns the citizen into soldiers and enables total war".

According to Hein Hoyer, there is a street in Hamburg-St. Pauli named.
