Life

Hoffmann was born in Cottbus in 1863 and studied medicine in Jena , Erlangen and Berlin . During his studies in 1885 he became a member of the Teutonia Jena fraternity . After completing his doctorate in Jena, he completed his advanced training at the municipal hospitals on Arenberg zu Elberfeld , at the eye and ear clinic at the Jena University Hospital and at the Berlin Polyclinic for Neck and Nose Diseases .

On April 1, 1895, Hoffmann moved to Dresden as a general practitioner and specialist in ear, nose and larynx problems (later: throat diseases ). His private clinic was located at Zinzendorfstraße 39, in 1896 he moved it to Mathildenstraße 2 and in 1910 to Friedrichstraße 50.

In 1901 Hoffmann became an ear doctor at the Dresden infant home, in 1904 he founded the ear outpatient department at the Dresden-Johannstadt City Hospital , which he expanded in 1911 to become the department for ear, nose and throat diseases .
