As Chairman of the Rhenish-German National Convention, the earliest parliament in Germany based on the principle of popular sovereignty, he proclaimed the first republican state in Germany, the Rhenish-German Free State, on 18 March 1793.[1] A strong supporter of the French Revolution, he argued for an accession of all German territory west of the Rhine to France and served in the administration of the department Mont-Tonnerre under the French Directory and the French Consulate.

Family and legacy
Andreas Joseph Hofmann was the son of Anton Hofmann, a surgeon, and of Magdalena Fahrmann. In 1788, he married Catharina Josepha Rivora (1763–1799),[43] the daughter of Peter Maria Rivora and Christina Schumann. They had three daughters, of which two died early.[18] His daughter Charlotte Sturm died in 1850 and bequeathed most of her belongings to Charlotte Lehne, the granddaughter of Hofmann's student Friedrich Lehne.[44] None of Hofmann's personal papers and correspondence have been preserved,[3] and there is no known picture of him.[45] Overall, there is far less known about Hofmann's life than about most of the other leading members of the Mainz Jacobin club.[3]
In 2018, a road in Winkel was named Andreas-Joseph-Hofmann-Straße.[46]

Notes
- ^ Many sources claim that the uncle's name was "Franz Xaver Fahrmann", following Otto,[4] but the only person matching either of the descriptions as professor of moral theology or of auxiliary bishop in Würzburg during the time in question is Andreas Joseph Fahrmann (1742–1802),[5][6][7][8][9] see also the list of auxiliary bishops of Würzburg . Otto's reference for Fahrmann is Franz Xaver von Wegele's history of the University of Würzburg, which does not give Fahrmann's first name.[10] In Hofmanns CV for his application for the position in Mainz, he mentions an uncle Professor Fahrmann without first name.[3] The Mainz University historian Helmut Mathy presents the uncle's name as Franz Xaver Fahrmann, but cites the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie article about Andreas Joseph Fahrmann[11] for details about Fahrmann's life.[3]
