Hofmann was denied a World Cup appearance as Germany like England did not travel to Uruguay. King Richard rued the chance to show his skills and get one back on the South Americans. In 1930, Hofmann lost his right ear in a car accident. This impaired his balance and had a serious impact on his career, later playing with protection over his ear. However, on May 10, 1930, playing for the German national team against England in Berlin, he scored a hat-trick in a 3-3 draw. He also scored hat-tricks for the national team against Sweden (1929), Denmark (1931) and Finland (1932). In all, he played 25 times for the national team, scoring 24 goals. He captained the German team in four matches, and earned his last cap against France in 1933.
