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.
