HOFF Hubert

Johann Hubert HOFF, born in Essen in 1870, came to Luxembourg on 1 April 1905. He was an engineer and had been recruited by the Dudelange steelworks (Société anonyme des Hauts Fourneaux et Forges de Dudelange).
He was married to Clara Lina Amalia STUCKMANN with whom he had a child born in Dudelange in 1906. His wife Clara died in 1909 and in 1911 HOFF married Paula Augusta STUCKMANN, Clara’s younger sister.
The STUCKMANN sisters had grown up in Amsterdam where their father, of German origin, was a music teacher (musiekmeester).
As a result of the creation of ARBED in 1911, Hubert HOFF became Director of the Esch steelworks and in 1920 he became General-Direktor der Bismarckhütte in Schlesien, thus leaving Luxembourg.
