Hoffmannshof stands in Hamborn (Duisburg), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Hoffmannshof was a medieval manorial seat in the Obermarxloh district of Hamborn (Duisburg), north of the Beeckbach stream. Excavations carried out in 1969 and 1970 uncovered the foundations of an early medieval fortified site enclosed by a double moat, along with pottery fragments dated to the 8th and 9th centuries, supporting the theory of a former moated stronghold shown on a 1734 cadastral map. The last residential building was torn down in 1967 to make way for the Clauberg-Gymnasium, which now stands on the site.
