Life

Hoof learned the trade of bookseller and was regional manager of the North Rhine-Westphalian Greens .

In 1988 he founded the department and mail order company Manufactum Hoof & Partner KG , and in 1993 the affiliated publishing house Manuscriptum Verlagsbuchhandlung .

The publishing house Manuscriptum , originally founded as a companion to Manufactum and which among other things published reprints of merchandise-related books, remained in Hoof's possession.
