At the age of 18, Niederhöfer began his training in the middle service of the community of Grünstadt-Land on June 1, 1975 , which had been created three years earlier through the amalgamation of 16 local communities . After attending the administrative college in Mayen while working , two evening courses followed, first a course to become an accountant at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and then a four-year course in business administration . After graduating, Niederhöfer was promoted to senior service .

job

In 1988 Niederhöfer took over the management of the municipal works of the association.
