Hoering, son of a doctor, attended grammar school in Bartenstein and later in Stuttgart . From 1886 to 1889 he learned pharmacy in Stuttgart , then worked as a pharmacist in French-speaking Switzerland and Germany.

He then went to Rostock to study chemistry and received his doctorate there with a thesis on the bromides of anethole and isosafrole. phil.

In Berlin, Hoering then worked for some time as an assistant to Carl Liebermann and took part in his investigations into carminic acid. After working as a chemist at the K. Oehler paint factory in Offenbach, he returned to Berlin, where he set up a private scientific laboratory and lived as a private scholar.

Hoering worked as a private scholar in his earlier field of work, anethole and isosafrole. He also dealt with the problems that were of interest to the economy (coking of the peat). A few years before the First World War, with his method of briquetting the Nile reeds, he laid the foundation for creating a fuel that was of great importance for the scientific development of Sudan. The fuel called "Suddit" was produced by an English monopoly company. In addition, Hoering created a process for obtaining fibers from Nile reeds and native reed species. He hoped to make Germany independent of the import of jute through the "Typhaser textile industry" he founded.
