Life
From 1852 he studied medicine and the last two years mathematics and physics at the University of Leiden with Frederik Kaiser .

Karl Ludwig von Littrow rediscovered both Joachim Heller's notes and Paul Fabricius' originals in the Vienna State Archives in 1856 . Based on the orbit data, Hoek doubted the identity of the comets of 1264 and 1556.
