Paul Hofmann (24 August 1901 – 16 October 1980) was a Nazi Party official who served briefly as Gauleiter of Gau Magdeburg-Anhalt.

[1] Hofmann left military service on 31 October 1930, and on 1 November he joined the Nazi Party (membership number 359,542).

After the Nazi seizure of power, Hofmann ordered works by Leon Trotsky, Erich Maria Remarque and other Communists and pacifists removed from the Dessau city library.

Meanwhile, conflicts developed between himself and Gauleiter Loeper, which led to Hofmann resigning all Party posts at the end of March 1933.

[2] Hofmann reentered political life after the war, heading the West Berlin branch of Tatgemeinschaft Freie Deutscher (Free Germans Association) a union of right-wing conservatives.
