Luc Hoffmann was born in Basel, the second son of the businessman and art-lover Emanuel Hoffmann and the sculptor Maja Hoffmann-Stehlin. His father died in a car crash when he was nine years old 〔“Emanuel Hoffmann” Amerikanische Schweizer Zeitung New York October 26, 1932.〕 and the following year his older brother died of leukaemia. His mother then married the Swiss composer Paul Sacher.〔“(Paul Sacher )” The Economist 3 June 1999. Retrieved 21 August 2012.〕 Despite the family’s great wealth, Hoffmann was raised frugally. His enthusiasm for the natural world developed during his childhood and he spent much of his free time bird watching in the Basel area. His first academic paper, “Der Durchzug der Strandvögel in der Umgebung Basels” (the passage of seabirds in the vicinity of Basel) appeared in Der Ornithologische Beobachter (the Bird Observer) in 1941, when he was still a schoolboy.〔Lukas Hoffmann and Hugo Wyss (1941) “Der Durchzug der Strandvögel in der Umgebung Basels” Der Ornithologische Beobachter pp. 144-160.〕
