Johann Aloys Hoffmann (14 August 1780 – 24 April 1848) was an Austrian prelate of the Catholic Church who served as an auxiliary bishop of Salzburg from 1835 to his death in 1848.
[1] Hoffmann, after barely two years of working in pastoral care in Zell am See, was entrusted with the important office of the prefecture of the Rupertine Collegium in the fall of 1805.
In the summer of 1808, he was appointed court chaplain in Vienna by Prince-Archbishop Hieronymus von Colloredo of Salzburg.
[1] When Archbishop Augustin Gruber applied for the appointment of an auxiliary bishop to support him in the more laborious episcopal functions because of his persistent illness, Hoffmann was chosen for this dignity.
He was buried on 27 April 1848 in the Gabriel Chapel in Sebastian's Cemetery, where a simple memorial stone marks his resting place.
