Life

Von Hoegen , who holds a doctorate in law, began his professional career as an administrative clerk. From the Federal Ministry of the Interior , he moved to various German intelligence services.

Starting in 1976 led Hoegen in the office of a Direktores the Division V ( confidentiality ) at the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution , from 1 March 1980, the Division IV ( counterintelligence ), from the beginning of 1981, the Division I (principle) and finally from February 1982 to 30th October 1983 again in Department IV.

Then von Hoegen began a new job as the first director at the Federal Criminal Police Office , where he headed the State Security and Security Group Bonn department in Meckenheim .

In 1985 he was transferred to the MAD because of the Höcherl report commissioned because of the MAD's Kießling affair , which had called for the increased use of civilians in the army intelligence service to loosen up the encrusted structures, and he was its president from 1991 until his retirement in 2003 stayed. His attempts to expand the MAD's competencies to include foreign intelligence, failed at the end of von Hoegens' term of office due to resistance from the BND.

He is a participant of the " Intelligence Service in Germany " (GKND) discussion group, which was founded in 2003 and consists of former high-ranking employees of the German secret services, and is a member of its advisory board. He co-founded the GKND in 2008 and was vice chairman of the advisory board.

Von Hoegen is a member of the CDU and held smaller functions in it.
