Dutch organist and composer of German descent. Almost nothing is known
about his early life. He settled to the Netherlands after joining the
regiment of Saxony-Gotha. Despite his musical training remains unknown,
he was skilled playing the organ and was appointed organist and
carillonneur at Zaltbommel church and later at the 'Grote Kerk' in
Nijmegen. In 1791 he was promoted as official organist there, in a post
he held the rest of his life. As a composer, he wrote symphonies,
concertos, sacred music, among them his masterwork 'Op Jezus Kruis dood'
(1789), and many chamber music. He married to Johanna Barbara Lintz and
their sons Ferdinand Hauff (1779-1813) and Wilhelm Gottlieb Hauff
(1793-1858) were also organists and composers.
