Life

Hofmann attended elementary school and high school and graduated from high school in 1937 . This was followed by work service and military service as a draftee . From 1939 to 1947 he was a soldier in the Second World War , was taken prisoner by the Soviets and, as a war veteran, was in a hospital .

From 1947 to 1951, he studied history , German , English philology and philosophy at the University of Tübingen . With a thesis on the nobility and sovereigns in the northern Black Forest from the middle of the 14th to the beginning of the 16th century , he was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD .

From 1953 to 1965 Hofmann was a teacher of history, political science, German and English at the Elly-Heuss-Knapp-Gymnasium Heilbronn . During this time he was a co-founder of the local history supplement Schwaben und Franken of the daily newspaper Heilbronner Voice . For a Heimatbuch of the city of Heilbronn planned by Wilhelm Mattes , he wrote an 82-page manuscript chapter on The History of the City of Heilbronn from the Late Middle Ages to the Present , which like the entire Heimatbuch remained unpublished after Mattes' death that same year. The completed manuscripts of the Heimatbuch were bought by the City of Heilbronn and handed over to the Heilbronn City Archives .
