After the old council was expelled in 1408, he was elected to the new council and belonged to it at least until 1409.
Hop was married in his first marriage to the widow of the Lübeck citizen Wynecke Castorp. In his second marriage he married Adelheid Krowel in 1407, the daughter of the Lübeck citizen Johann Krowel the Elder. Ä. The wealthy Hop was able to pay off the three sons from his first marriage with 1,000 marks each at his second marriage.
